The Manly Sea Eagles have been relatively quiet in the transfer market, much to the disappointment of fans, especially with nine players on their way out. However, the club is eager to rejuvenate the roster with new talent.

While the team's core lineup, including Tom Trbojevic, Luke Brooks, and new signing Jamal Fogarty from the Canberra Raiders, appears secure, the Sea Eagles are looking to secure a hooker for the 2026 season.

The 30-year-old player is anticipated to sign a two-year contract with the club, addressing a crucial utility shortage in their ranks.

NRL coaching effectiveness is highlighted as teams face varied outcomes; some thrive, others falter.

As the NRL season concludes, leaving 9 out of 17 teams on holiday rather than gearing up for finals, the effectiveness of coaching performance comes into focus. The fates of coaches Adam O'Brien (Knights) and Des Hasler (Titans) have already been sealed; they find themselves in the coaching wilderness. In contrast, Benji Marshall (Tigers) and Jason Ryles (Eels) have successfully revived their teams from near collapse, while Anthony Siebold (Sea Eagles), Shane Flanaghan (Dragons), and Todd Payten (Cowboys) spent much of the season staring into the abyss.

Kristian Woolf (Dolphins) has impressively managed to dispel the lingering influence of Wayne Bennett (Souths), who appeared ghost-like throughout the season. In the upcoming weeks, Ivan Cleary could be celebrated as the patron saint of Penrith if he leads his team to a remarkable fifth consecutive premiership.

Should any of the coaches-Andrew Webster (Warriors), Trent Robinson (Roosters), Michael Maguire (Broncos), Craig Fitzgibbon (Sharks), Cameron Ciraldo (Bulldogs), or Ricky Stuart (Raiders)-bring home a championship, their fans may start to wonder if they are indeed guided by a coach capable of performing miracles.

Manly Sea Eagles plan to sign a versatile 30-year-old hooker, filling a utility gap.

Zero Tackle

The Manly Sea Eagles haven't been as active in the transfer market as many fans would have hoped, but with nine players set to depart the club, it seems they're keen to get some new troops through the doors.

While the club's spine is fairly set with Tom Trbojevic, Luke Brooks, and incoming Canberra Raiders recruit Jamal Fogarty, all in the mix, it seems the club is set to welcome an option at hooker for 2026.

The 30-year-old is set to ink a two-year deal with the Northern Beaches-based club and will fill a much-needed utility gap in the club's ranks.

While he isn't expected to be a lock-in starter in the No. 9 jumper, Dockar-Clay's experience and versatility will be a welcome addition to the club's starting 17.
