Manly open negotiations with Trbojevic brothers as Tom ponders England move
- Manly Sea Eagles began contract negotiations in 2025 with Tom and Jake Trbojevic, whose deals expire at the end of the 2026 season.
- These talks follow Tom's injury-plagued recent years, his willingness to reduce salary, and his preference to join the Super League rather than hinder younger players at Manly.
- Manly intends to offer Jake a one-year extension around $500,000 and likely a multi-year deal to Tom near $700,000, down from his current $1.15 million salary.
- After receiving the 2021 Dally M Medal, Tom has played an average of 12.8 games per season and has publicly expressed willingness to return a significant portion of his salary due to ongoing injury challenges.
- If Tom leaves for England, it may relieve Manly's salary cap pressures and allow them to retain younger backs like Lehi Hopoate, while Jake's re-signing is expected to proceed smoothly.
