Canberra Raiders involved in Daly Cherry-Evans saga as Manly pursues Jamal Fogarty for 2023.
The Canberra Raiders have been dragged into the Daly Cherry-Evans soap opera as Manly scrambles to fill the void left by one of the game's biggest superstars.
The Cherry-Evans bombshell continues to reverberate, the shockwaves hit the capital on Wednesday night when reports emerged Manly was keen to lure Jamal Fogarty to the northern beaches next year.
Fogarty's future at the Raiders remains unclear after negotiations about his future stalled at the start of the year. Fogarty and Raiders coach Ricky Stuart have been discussing contract options, sidelining Fogarty's management in a bid to sort out the situation.
Manly wants Jamal Fogarty to replace Daly Cherry-Evans, opening talks with Raiders and planning for exit.
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.
