Garrick Makes Bold Contract Decision for 2027 Extension
Reuben Garrick, the versatile star of the Manly Sea Eagles, has made a significant decision regarding his future. He is set to leave the club at the conclusion of the 2026 season. Garrick is expected to join the Sydney Roosters on a two-year contract starting in 2027.
Garrick’s Contract Decision for 2027
The news of Garrick’s decision to join the Roosters has emerged after negotiations took place following the end of the transfer window on November 1. Reports indicate that Garrick declined an extension offer from Manly, citing that it was not reflective of his market value.
Details of the Transfer
Despite efforts from the Sea Eagles, Garrick has already communicated his intention to leave the club. While there has been a ten-day cooling off period for Manly, it appears unlikely that Garrick will reconsider his choice.
- Contract Duration: Two years (2027 and 2028)
- Previous Offer: Approximately $550,000 per year from Manly
- Other Interested Clubs:
- St. George Illawarra Dragons
- Perth Bears
Reasons for the Move
The decision is highlighted by Garrick’s desire for a contract that reflects his talent and contributions on the field. The Roosters are preparing for changes in their roster as they will likely say goodbye to Mark Nawaqanitawase, who is shifting to rugby union, and Daniel Tupou, who is anticipated to retire after the 2026 season.
As Garrick transitions to the Roosters, fans are eager to see how he will impact the team’s dynamics, especially with former teammate Daly Cherry-Evans likely joining the coaching staff by 2027. The upcoming seasons promise to be pivotal as both Garrick and the Roosters aim for success in the NRL.
