Manly Sea Eagles superstar Tom Trbojevic could be set to make one of the shock calls of the decade, with the 28-year-old mulling over a rival contract offer.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Trbojevic has been offered a two-year deal by the Sam Burgess-led Warrington Wolves, which would see the 2021 Dally M-winner head over to the Super League from 2027.

The deal is expected to be less than what the Sea Eagles are offering; however, Trbojevic has reportedly felt disrespected by his club after they dropped their contract offer from $900,000 to $750,000, which has the star fullback contemplating his future elsewhere.
Trbojevic was set to push back an offer from the Super League last week after verbally agreeing to a three-year extension worth around $2.55-2.7 million to keep him at the Sea Eagles until 2029.
With the original offer now having been revised, the Sea Eagles will need to work hard to regain Trbojevic’s trust, before the Wolves snatch the star fullback.
He is yet to make a formal decision, but is reportedly seriously considering the Super League switch, which would spell doom for the Sea Eagles’ future.
