Sydney Roosters half Daly Cherry-Evans is understood to be weighing up retiring at the end of 2026, despite reports just a week ago suggesting he was ready to play on. The veteran halfback signed with the Roosters for the 2026 season, but also has an option in his contract for 2027. Diplomat coach Trent Robinson told reporters on Wednesday that the club hadn't spoken to Cherry-Evans about his future yet, and that he had no idea what the decision of his five-eighth is. "It's really nice, you talked about deadlines and all of that, but playing what's in front of you is really key. The Cherry-Evans news comes with Sam Walker also in negotiations over his future, although Robinson also suggested that a ten-year offer has not been tabled to the star halfback, despite those reports emerging over the weekend.
