Manly are set to re-sign superstar brothers Tom and Jake Trbojevic on NRL deals that will allow the Sea Eagles to build their future around the pair for the next six years.
The Sea Eagles on Wednesday met with the Trbojevic’s management and ramped up their pursuit, tabling an offer that will keep them at the club until the end of 2026.
It marks the first time Manly have lodged an official offer in the negotiations for 2021 and beyond.
The brothers are expected to agree to the terms, given they have long stated their desire to remain at their junior club.
It will also ensure they can play the majority of their careers together, after Jake detailed fears last weekend that wouldn’t be the case.
Off-contract at the end of next year, they would have been at the top of numerous rivals wish lists for 2021 when they became open to receive offers on Friday.
But Manly have swooped just in time, with the two key players believed to have been offered a combined $12 million.
