Jamal Fogarty feels it's disrespectful to be compared to Daly Cherry-Evans as Manly's halfback.
Manly halfback Jamal Fogarty believes it's "disrespectful" to compare himself to Daly Cherry-Evans, with the veteran recruit saying he won't try to replicate how the former Manly skipper played.
The Sea Eagles begin a new era in 2026 with Tom Trbojevic as captain and Fogarty coming across from the Raiders to replace Cherry-Evans, who spent 15 years in the Manly No.7 jersey but opted to finish his career with the Roosters.
The 31-year-old signed a three-year deal to leave Canberra, who was eliminated without winning a finals game in 2025, despite sitting at the top of the ladder for a large part of the season.
