Manly Sea Eagles legend, one-club player and captain Daly Cherry-Evans may have to look elsewhere in 2026 if he wants to continue his playing as the 36-year-old now enters the twilight of his long career.

Ageing like fine wine, it’s easy to argue that DCE is still in his prime as he led the Queensland Maroons in State of Origin last year and is likely to do so again in 2025.

A return home to Queensland to join the Dolphins, or linking up with former assistant coach Shane Flanagan at St George Illawarra Dragons are two options that may present themselves to the Manly half.

And as Buzz said, “it’s a watch this space story.”
