Manly wants Jamal Fogarty to replace Daly Cherry-Evans, opening talks with Raiders and planning for exit.

The Sydney Morning Herald

Manly have identified Canberra halfback Jamal Fogarty as the replacement for Daly Cherry-Evans, opening conversations with the Raiders No.7's management about joining the club from next season.

On the same day that Cherry-Evans addressed his teammates about his future and vowed to do everything in his power to leave the club with a premiership, this masthead can reveal Manly have been planning for his exit for months.

The Sea Eagles have identified Fogarty as Cherry-Evans' replacement despite offering the club captain a two-year extension worth $1.4 million on Tuesday.

Raiders sign Jayden Brailey for two years, creating competition at hooker position. Dummyhalf logjam continues.

Fox League

The Raiders have confirmed the signing of former Knights skipper Jayden Brailey with the hooker inking a two year deal with Canberra from next season.

However, Ricky Stuart likely sees Brailey as a starter and a veteran to help develop Pattie into a star in the coming seasons.

The Knights moved to offload Brailey to free up money to chase Dylan Brown, who signed for $13 million over 10 years.

Meanwhile, the Raiders face a dummyhalf logjam with Brailey joining Owen Pattie at the club, while incumbent Tom Starling and Danny Levi are fighting for their futures.

Brailey is an interesting signing given he is leaving a club where he is on the bench, to potentially filling the same role at the Raiders.

Jayden Brailey is Canberra-bound after the ink dried on the Newcastle hooker's two-year deal to join the Raiders.

Brailey will see out the remainder of the season in Newcastle before joining the Raiders until the end of 2027 to spark a battle for Canberra's No.9 jersey with an incumbent and a rising star.

Owen Pattie - the 21-year-old who has drawn comparisons to Queensland hooker Harry Grant - has been upgraded and extended on a new contract that will see him stay in Canberra until at least the end of 2028.
