Raiders coach supports Fogarty potentially leaving for Manly to benefit family, contract clause options discussed.
Canberra Raiders' coach Ricky Stuart is supportive of Jamal Fogarty potentially leaving the club for Manly if it benefits his family, amid reports that the Sea Eagles are eyeing Fogarty as a replacement for Daly Cherry-Evans.
Fogarty has a contract clause that Canberra must activate by Round 7 to keep him for $650,000 in 2026, or he can become a free agent if neither party exercises their option by Round 20.
Stuart spoke to Fogarty about the situation, encouraging him to prioritize his wife and kids.
Stuart told reporters, "If you have got a big deal out there mate that's going to be the best thing for Kahlia and the girls, you take that.
