Unbelievable: Manly Sea Eagles pushes a Trade for a Suspended Player Who Was Recently Dumped – Here’s Why!
Unbelievable: Sea Eagles Push for Trade to Replace Suspended, Recently “Dumped” Walker
In a stunning off-season twist, the Manly Sea Eagles are reportedly pushing for a trade to fill the void left by star centre Dylan Walker—who was recently stood down under the NRL’s no-fault suspension rule amid serious charges. With Walker ruled out indefinitely and Manly granted approximately \$98,000 in salary-cap relief, the club has swung into action.
CEO Lyall Gorman confirmed the Sea Eagles are “scouring the open market for an outside back”, a rare mid-season shift that signals desperation on the Northern Beaches. With a depleted backline and a mounting injury list in the forward pack, Manly can’t afford to ride out the season with such key losses.
The short-term trade push reportedly focuses on securing an experienced outside back who can slot in immediately and boost Manly’s fractured spine. While Walker’s absence has clearly rattled the squad, fans and pundits are watching closely to see if Manly can land a standout recruit.
The situation has prompted debate over the club’s direction, but internally, the Sea Eagles remain focused on salvaging their season. Amid uncertainty and heated roster reshuffling, the Sea Eagles are clearly signaling: **they want a replacement—and fast**.
