Jamal Fogarty embraces his individuality, acknowledging his talent gap compared to Daly Cherry-Evans at Manly.

The Canberra Times

Jamal Fogarty has declared he's his own man and won't try to be Daly Cherry-Evans at Manly, conceding there is a talent gap between him and the man he considers as the club's greatest ever half.

Fogarty is now full swing into his first pre-season at the Sea Eagles, fresh off moving from Canberra and beginning training a week earlier than scheduled at Brookvale.

After guiding Canberra to a minor premiership with a career-best year last season, the 31-year-old is the first to admit he is still spurred on by the Raiders' straight-sets finals exit.

The Melbourne Storm have announced the signings of three new players: forward Jack Hetherington, halfback Trent Toelau, and utility back Manaia Waitere.

Hetherington has joined the team on a one-year contract, whereas Toelau and Waitere have both secured two-year deals. The additions of Hetherington and Waitere, the latter previously signed with the Raiders until 2026, had been speculated over the past two weeks. Meanwhile, Toelau has been released from his contract with the Penrith Panthers.

Hetherington, who played with the Newcastle Knights in 2025, was not offered a new contract at the end of that season. He is now set to join Melbourne, where he is expected to help fill the void left by Eliesa Katoa. Katoa will miss the entire 2026 season due to a traumatic head injury sustained while representing Tonga in the Pacific Championships.
