He will announce that later in the year,\u201d Chammas said. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019ll have a one-year continuing on as a coach.<\/p>\n \u201cDanny [Weidler] last week spoke about how Daly Cherry-Evans will move into a coaching role once he retires.\u201d<\/p>\n Cherry-Evans will be 37 by the tiume his playing commitments end with the Roosters before he is expected to retire and move into a coaching role. <\/p>\n The 36-year-old has scored 97 tries in 345 games for the Sea Eagles since his debut in 2011 and won a premiership with the club that same season before losing another grand final in 20213. <\/p>\n Cherry-Evans has played 26 Origins for the Maroons before being dropped after game one this season and played 21 Test matches for the Kangaroos. <\/p>\n \u201cNo update there,\u201d Cherry-Evans told news.com.au<\/a> last week when asked about his future.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m just going to keep taking my time and make sure I make the right decision for myself and my family.<\/p>\n \u201cBut (I\u2019ve) definitely still got a fire burning. That\u2019s always the most important thing, is you\u2019ve got love for the game and a desire to keep competing.<\/p>\n \u201cMy focus right now is where it needs to be, and that\u2019s for the Manly side this year.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re sitting around that top eight at the moment, which is great. There\u2019s definitely lots of improvement left in us for the back end of the year.<\/p>\n \u201cSo if we can focus in and keep playing consistent footy, which we\u2019ve done the last month, be able to play finals footy again, which is a big driving force for the team and I.\u201d<\/p>\n SHARKS IN DANGER OF LOSING STAR AMID CONTRACT STAND-OFF<\/p>\n The Sharks are in danger of losing hooker Blayke Brailey after he rejected an extension offer from the club as he looks to test his value on the open market. <\/p>\n WWOS\u2019 The Mole<\/a> reported talks have stalled between Brailey and the Sharks after he rejected an extension offer and issued the club with a counter offer. <\/p>\n \u201cThey [Cronulla] made an offer – we didn\u2019t accept it,\u201d Brailey\u2019s manager David Riolo told Wide World of Sports.<\/p>\n \u201cI put a counter offer and they are considering it. We are kind of in limbo at the moment.<\/p>\n \u201cBut the clock is ticking and if it can\u2019t get sorted before November 1, he will go to the open market.\u201d<\/p>\n Brailey is considered a NSW Origin hooker of the future and is a homegrown Sharks talent that doesn\u2019t want to leave the club. <\/p>\n However, if the Sharks don\u2019t meet his demands he could attrac t interest from multiple clubs on the open market come November 1. <\/p>\n The 26-year-old has scored 16 tries in 155 games for the Sharks since his debut in 2019 and has been an ion man in first grade having hardly missed a game since his debut. <\/p>\n TIGERS TARGET QUEENSLAND YOUNG GUN <\/p>\n Fresh off locking up skipper Api Koroisau with a two-year extension, the Tigers are targeting Queensland under 19s young gun Javon Andrews. <\/p>\n
