Why a stubborn footy star REFUSES to confirm where he is playing in 2026 - 'don't feel it is a distraction'
Daly Cherry-Evans has always operated on his own terms - and that isn't about to change as rumours continue to swirl surrounding his playing future. The Manly Sea Eagles captain, 36, is expected to link up with the Sydney Roosters next season, but confirmation will follow when the halfback is ready. 'There won't be anything happening soon, I dare say,' Cherry-Evans said on Friday following the win over the Wests Tigers when asked by reporters if he was close to announcing his next move. 'We've spoken about it as a team, we definitely don't feel it (my future) is a distraction.' Pressed on whether he may retire, Cherry-Evans - who made his NRL debut for the club in 2011 - was coy in his response. 'So we don't go down a rabbit hole, I'll clarify it one more time,' he responded. 'I've made the decision (in March) so Manly were aware, and so I could afford myself the freedom to make a choice that was best for me next year. 'When I do make that announcement it will be because it's the best situation for me and my future. 'The most important thing is how we (Manly) play this year.' While 'DCE' continues to frustrate some footy journalists, teammate Tom Trbojevic insists there is no divide at Brookvale. 'I've been comfortable with it since day dot,' the centre said as speculation increases the dragged out decision has destabilised the club. 'He's come and he's openly said what he wants to do and he's entitled to do that. 'I thought Cherry was going to be at this club his whole career. So (in March) that was a shock. 'But we're out here doing our job and what he's doing next year is not going to affect me doing my job. 'He's played footy for long enough to make decisions on his own terms and it is what it is.'
