Tom Trbojevic is reportedly set to remain at the Sea Eagles, with a drawn-out contract saga and an ugly stalemate coming to an end.
According to news.com.au, Trbojevic will sign a fresh one-year deal on Monday, extending his stay until the end of the 2027 season.
The superstar fullback reportedly knocked back a two-year contract from the Warrington Wolves to stay in the NRL and remain a one-club player.

Trbojevic’s decision comes after it looked certain he would depart Brookvale, with club powerbrokers originally negotiating a three-year extension worth a reported $2.7 million.
When that contract was taken to the board, it was revised to $2.4 million, with $300,000 stripped off it in a move that left Trbojevic angered, with a bad taste in his mouth.
The club’s decision reportedly prompted him to explore a move to the Super League, having already taken a significant pay cut on the initially negotiated deal from his current contract.
Trbojevic was reportedly seriously considering walking out on the Sea Eagles, but had reservations playing for another NRL club.

His new one-year extension is reportedly worth around $900,000 for the 2027 season, but the original contract would have seen him remain at Manly until 2029.
On that original deal, his reportedly salary sat between $850,000 to $900,000 before it was slashed to $750,000 two days later.
Trbojevic has also previously offered to take a pay cut or refund a chunk of his salary due to injury concerns in recent years.
