Breaking News: Departed Star Sea Eagles centre keen to make overseas switch, although….
Former Manly Sea Eagles centre Tommy Talau is reportedly eyeing a move to the UK Super League after being released by the NRL club at the end of the 2025 season. The 25-year-old, who joined Manly from the Wests Tigers, struggled for consistent first-grade opportunities this year, spending most of the season in the NSW Cup despite scoring 19 tries in 36 appearances across two seasons.
With contract negotiations falling through, Talau is now exploring overseas options, hoping to revive his career with more regular game time. He has publicly acknowledged the difficulties of the 2025 season, citing injuries and limited opportunities as key setbacks. However, he remains focused on “playing good footy” and is determined to make the most of a fresh start.
Talau, who has represented Samoa at the international level and is the son of former Super League star Willie Talau, would bring experience and versatility to any Super League side. Capable of playing both centre and wing, he offers strike power and proven finishing ability.
A move to the UK could provide the platform Talau needs to reignite his career and return to top form in a less crowded backline environment.
