Daly Cherry-Evans is confident he still has the support of the playing group after reaching out to his teammates amid speculation over his future as captain.
It comes as pressure mounts on club as fractions within the playing group and tension between coach Des Hasler and Manly powerbrokers threatens to spill over.
It was reported on Monday that there’s been a push within the playing group for Jake Trbojevic to take over the captaincy, while rumours have been circling suggesting Cherry-Evans had fallen out with the Trbojevic brothers.
