WHERE COULD DALY CHERRY-EVANS LAND?
Would resemble a homecoming of sorts, with Cherry-Evans born in Redcliffe and his father Troy a former Dolphins player in the Brisbane Rugby League. The club are interested, and see him as a mentor for Isaiya Katoa.
GOLD COAST:
Cherry-Evans remains close with his first coach Des Hasler, who would likely need to clear some cap space. Have a strong forward pack to play behind and strike out wide. Would be a remarkable turnaround after his 2015 backflip.
SYDNEY ROOSTERS:
Would turn the Roosters into a premiership contender again, particularly if they also bring Joey Manu back from rugby union. The Tricolours were in the market for Ben Hunt, and Cherry-Evans is an upgrade on him.
CANTERBURY:
The other club Cherry-Evans could move to and be in a similar premiership window to the one he is currently in at Manly. Were also in the market for Hunt, and like other Sydney clubs Cherry-Evans could remain living on the northern beaches.
SOUTH SYDNEY:
Cody Walker is off contract this year, and the door is more than ajar for Cherry-Evans. If Walker plays the pair could partner each other, while if the veteran five-eighth moves on Cherry-Evans could mentor Lewis Dodd or Jamie Humphreys.
ST GEORGE ILLAWARRA:
Cherry-Evans has worked with Shane Flanagan before at Manly, but a Dragons reunion is unlikely. Club insiders played it down on Tuesday, with relocation or travel to Wollongong a likely hurdle if other Sydney clubs are interested.
PARRAMATTA:
Have money to spend after Dylan Brown opted out of his contract to move to Newcastle. Jason Ryles is planning for the future with youngsters, but Cherry-Evans could help them along while partnering Mitch Moses.
Are still holding onto hope their two-year offer worth a $1.4 million convinces Cherry-Evans to change his mind and stay, if he plays on. The Sea Eagles believe the Manly great should finish his career a one-club player.
RETIREMENT:
Cherry-Evans has said he still has a burning desire to play football, but has said he would be content if this year is his last. There is a coaching offer at Manly, where he would likely be able to juggle a career in the media.
OTHER OPTIONS:
A stint at Penrith as Nathan Cleary's partner would open the door to a premiership, but coach Ivan Cleary declared Cherry-Evans out of the club's price range on Tuesday. A desperate Cowboys side could also make a play, but it is hard to see Cherry-Evans living anywhere but Sydney or southeast Queensland.
