Manly confirm squad, supplementary and training contracts for 2024

Having begun their pre-season training, the Manly Sea Eagles have confirmed the members of their Top 30 rosters and their supplementary players and train-and-triallists for 2024.

Headlined by former Dally M Halfback of the Year Luke Brooks, the Sea Eagles have five arrivals from rival clubs joining their Top 30 roster - Zane Dunford, Jaxson Paulo, Tommy Talau, and Corey Waddell.

Matt Lodge has also been awarded a Top 30 contract for next season, despite being on the sideline for a big chunk of next season due to rupturing his ACL in his right knee at the backend of last season.

Aaron Woods has been moved down to the supplementary list after joining the club in the middle of last season in a player swap with the Dragons.

Despite featuring in a couple of NRL games last season, Dean Matterson will join him on the list, and so will Aitasi James from the Wests Tigers and Bailey Hodgson from the Newcastle Knights.

The Sea Eagles have also provided an NRL lifeline to former NSW Blues representative Nathan Brown. The forward has been gifted a train-and-trial contract along with former Wests Tigers player Austin Dias, among others.
