Manly<\/a> has a new captain and the club chose a surprising venue to make the announcement: the carpark.<\/p>\n

During the morning coffee run, Tom Trbojevic was named the replacement for Daly Cherry-Evans at the club’s Narrabeen training complex.<\/p>\n

In socks, sandals and his Manly training kit, Trbojevic was clapped by his teammates and given a head rub from Jason Saab after coach Anthony Seibold announced the decision.<\/p>\n

Trbojevic was chuffed with his new title. <\/p>\n

“This means a lot to me, and I’m thrilled to take on the captaincy,” he said, in a club statement.<\/p>\n

“The next few months of pre-season will be tough but it’s an exciting time for all of us as we prepare for the new season.”<\/p>\n

The Trobjevic decision marks a new era for Manly along with a new logo for the club’s 80th year. Former chief executive Tony Mestrov has also quit<\/a> recently, replaced by former Manly prop Jason King.<\/p>\n

Seibold said there were a number of good candidates but the representative star was the man to lead the club forward.<\/p>\n

“On the field he is an elite player who has a big influence on team performance,” he said.<\/p>\n

“Off the field, not only is he highly respected by his teammates but he is a highly regarded member of the Northern Beaches community.<\/p>\n

“I know he’ll do a great job as captain.”<\/p>\n

Trbojevic returned to training today alongside new recruit Jamal Fogarty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manly has a new captain and the club chose a surprising venue to make the announcement: the carpark.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305695,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-305694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305694","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305694"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305694\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305695"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305694"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305694"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305694"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
