BREAKING NEWS: Sea Eagles Shake the NRL with Blockbuster Move as DCE Era Ends ……
Brookvale, Sydney – July 26, 2025
In a seismic shift set to redefine the NRL landscape, the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have announced the **official end of the Daly Cherry-Evans era**, with the club captain confirming his departure after an extraordinary 15-year reign. The 36-year-old halfback, who played a record 333 games in maroon and white, stunned fans by rejecting a new contract offer live on air earlier this week.
But Manly’s response has been swift—and explosive.
Sources within the club have confirmed a **\$1.2 million pursuit of Broncos powerhouse Payne Haas**, who becomes a free agent on November 1. The front-row enforcer is reportedly “open to relocation” if offered a leadership role and a premiership pathway.
Adding to the storm, young gun **Joey Walsh** has been elevated to the Top 30 squad, signalling a bold youth resurgence. Meanwhile, Manly’s war chest could see multiple roster shake-ups before the 2026 season.
“This is the beginning of a new dynasty,” said head coach Anthony Seibold.
With club legends walking out and superstar names circling, the Sea Eagles are gearing up for a fearless rebirth—ready to soar or crash in spectacular fashion.
