\u201cIf Daly does play in the NRL, we want him to play with the Manly Sea Eagles,\u201d Mestrov said at the time in a press conference.<\/p>\n

As far as Cherry-Evans was concerned, however, it was too little, too late. He stuck to his guns, farewelled the Brookvale faithful with a last-round win against the Warriors, and next season appears certain to continue his illustrious career at Sydney Roosters, at the age of 37.<\/p>\n

While all parties maintained a diplomatic front until the end of the season, only Cherry-Evans, Mestrov and Seibold will know how strained their relationships were, behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

If the Cherry-Evans contract talks were little short of a public-relations disaster, the retention of another Manly superstar, Tom Trbojevic, also proved to be problematic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Trbojevic considered the option of moving to Super League before eventually agreeing to a one-season extension, taking him until the end of 2027.<\/p>\n

As well as a new captain and CEO, the Sea Eagles will head into 2026 with a revamped coaching staff.<\/p>\n

Michael Ennis has joined his former mentor Shane Flanagan at St George Illawarra, while Brett Kimmorley takes over as NSW Cup coach and soon-to-be-retired Kieran Foran will be one of Seibold\u2019s assistants.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Sydney Roosters have thrown a career lifeline to former St George Illawarra outside back Cody Ramsey<\/a>, signing the 25-year-old to a two-season deal.<\/p>\n

Ramsey hasn\u2019t played in the NRL since 2022, after he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, prompting surgeons to remove a large portion of his bowel.<\/p>\n

Before surgery, Ramsey was advised that he would be unlikely to play rugby league again, but he staged a miraculous recovery to return last season and captain the Dragons\u2019 NSW Cup team, who reached the grand final.<\/p>\n

Ramsey has played wing, centre and fullback in his 36 NRL games and will provide cover for the Roosters\u2019 star-studded backline.<\/p>\n
