Sea Eagles flyer inks MONSTER deal to remain at Manly — Transfer Centre

Must read

Manly winger Jason Saab has signed a bumper new deal which will keep him on Sydney’s northern beaches until the end of 2029.

The news is somewhat of a surprise, considering Saab was already under contract with the Sea Eagles until the end of the 2026 season.

However, the move is an obvious indication that Manly think very highly of the 23-year-old, whose best form is still ahead of him.

“The improvement Jason has shown over the last 18 months is significant. I believe he can now become an elite winger and a representative class winger,’’ Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold said.

“It’s within reach. He has always had the potential. We’ve seen ‘Saaby’ score some great tries since he has come into first grade but I think the consistency in his game has grown.

“That’s his biggest area of improvement, he has become a really consistent NRL player and I know he can become an elite winger.”

Saab is the fourth Sea Eagle to lock down a long-term deal with the club beyond 2026, with second rower Haumole Olakau’atu inking a six-year extension through to 2031.

Former Tiger Luke Brooks is signed with the club until the end of 2027, as is the versatile Ben Trbojevic.

Saab has so far endured an injury-ravaged season in 2024, having only played in six games out of a possible 12.

For the season, he’s scored two tries, recorded five linebreaks and 15 tackle busts while averaging 132 running metres a game.

SEA EAGLES NAB FORMER TIGER EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY

The Sea Eagles have announced the signing of former Tigers hooker Jake Simpkin to join the club on a three-year deal, effective immediately.

Simpkin was struggling for playing time this season behind Api Koroisau, and was granted a release from the Tigers.

The Daily Telegraph are reporting that Manly will name Simpkin in their side to take on the Panthers this weekend.

Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold says Simpkin will “add some depth in the hooking role”.

We are very pleased to welcome Jake to Manly. He is a quality player who has already gained plenty of experience in the NRL for a young man,’’ said Seibold via a club-issued statement.

“We feel this is a very good addition to our playing group.”

Simpkin is reportedly the first of a number of players the club are expected to let leave before the end of the 2024 season as they prepare to lock down forward Stefano Utoikamanu.

The Simpkin news come as reports emerge that the Tigers have reportedly tabled a massive five-year extension to the Utoikamanu worth $4 million.

He becomes a free agent unless he plays two Origin games for the Blues this season, however that contract clause isn’t activated if the Tigers play finals football.
