On Monday evening, Daly Cherry-Evans shocked the entire NRL community when news broke that he was moving on from Manly at the end of 2025.
Whether or not he continues to ply his trade in the competition remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure, Manly need a replacement.
There is no Cherry-Evans level player on the market right now, so it's going to be a gamble whichever way they look.
It would be easy to say "oh they should sign Galvin, or Sam Walker" but we're looking at seven options I could actually see make the move ... potentially.
With that said, below are seven potential replacements for Daly Cherry-Evans:
3. Tom Duffy
The wraps on the Cowboys youngster are massive.
We didn't see him at his best in the opening rounds of the season but that was through no fault of the rookie. The Cowboys were dusted, including a Brookvale flogging.
Being scapegoated at such a young stage of your career can leave a lasting impression.
If the Sea Eagles are unable to land a more experienced half, they could look to 21-year-old Tom Duffy.
Much like if they went with Walsh, they'd have to hit reset. There's every chance the two youngsters could compete for the role.
