THE Cronulla Sharks have launched a $2.5million bid for Manly superstar Daly Cherry-Evans as speculation mounted his interest in the scandal-ridden Titans had fallen over.
Fox Sports News this afternoon captured exclusive footage of the Test and Origin star entering Sharks Leagues Club, just a week after he was seen on the Gold Coast.
The Daily Telegraph spoke to chairman Damian Keogh as he left the meeting.
“I’m not sure how it’s going to pan out because he’s probably favourite to stay at Manly,’’ Keogh said.
“But we’ve had a chat today, we’ve shown him around and I reckon we’re now second favourites.’’
Fox Sports News reporter Steve Hart will reveal the footage on news bulletin later this afternoon.
Cherry-Evans is a great friend of Sharks five-eighth Ben Barba and the coach Shane Flanagan believes his signature would give the club a roster capable of winning the premiership.
Cherry-Evans trained with Manly this morning (Monday) before leaving to drive to the Shire for the Sharks meeting.
After the meeting, Keogh took Cherry-Evans and his wife Vessa to lunch at Cronulla waterfront restaurant Sealevel, before giving them a short tour of the Shire.
If we got him for the quoted 2.5 mill over 3 years I think that would be a bargain!
