Manly CEO defends not talking to Fogarty, linked to player, Raiders reject exploring open market.
Manly Sea Eagles CEO Tony Mestrov has defended his club's position on Jamal Fogarty, claiming they have not yet talked to the halfback.
The Sea Eagles have been heavily linked to the experienced playmaker, who brought up his 100th NRL game over the weekend with the green machine as they dismantled the Parramatta Eels in Darwin.
The Raiders had until Round 6 to take up Fogarty's deal, and despite not doing so, knocked back a request from his management to explore the open market before that deadline.
