Wayne Bennett has ruled out southern Sydney chasing Daly Cherry-Evans, asking the window trade to stop that such problems act as a “self-destruction button” in the NRL season.
With the Rabbitoh, one of several clubs linked to Evans of contract cherries out of the contract, Bennett on Wednesday distanced the Rabbitoh of any shot in Manly’s star hackback.
The Souths coach said that his club could not fit in the Evans of Cherry under the salary limit, while the negotiations are ongoing to sign the five -round -eighth veterans Cody Walker.
Rabbitoh’s lack of interest occurs after St George Illawarra also indicated that they would not chase the Cherry-Evans on Wednesday.
It is known that Dolphins are interested in the 36-year-old, while the roosters and Canterbury settle as probable options if Cherry-Evans wants to stay in Sydney.
Manly is desperate to change Cherry-Evans’ mind with a two-year contract worth $ 1.4 million, after the most covered player in the club said that 2025 would be his last season in Brookvale.
That would require a significant change of Cherry-Evans heart, who said on national television earlier this week that he would not accept Manly’s agreement.
Bennett predicted on Thursday that multiple clubs would shuffle their lists to make a play for Cherry-Evans, but said Souths would not be one of them.
“We have no money on the salary limit,” said Bennett.
“If you don’t have a homicator and you’re fighting a little, of course, a club will do what you can to have in your hands on it. They don’t appear too frequently.
“I am sure that wherever Daly goes, he will also be good for them.
“There will be a club that will need a homdital and probably quite close to being the best team, but they simply do not have the right player in the middle of half of half of the middle.
“He is practically free of injury. He plays good football every week, so he is not ready for retirement, that is a place he doesn’t go.”
Bennett would not be inaugurated in criticism for the management of the situation by Manly, but warned that the problem would be a distraction and would not help the Sea Eagles season.
The veteran coach also said that the problems went far beyond Manly, tagging him badly for the whole game.
Bennett has long been a defender of commercial windows, pointing out their success in AFL and other sports abroad.
“This does nothing for the game. He does nothing for the club. It is wrong and would like to fix it,”
Bennett said.
“You don’t see this in Australian rules, they are our main competitor.
“We have pressured the four -week self -destruction button in a football season that has already provided great football.
“All the approach is what a couple of players or clubs have done. Therefore, the clubs have made any case. It simply should not happen. It should not be allowed to happen.”
