JAKE TRBOJEVIC and TOM TRBOJEVIC
Contracted to: Sea Eagles
Reportedly on: $900,000 for Jake, close to $1 million for Tom
Their situation: Manly’s star siblings have made no secret of the fact their preference is to play out their NRL careers together.
They told foxsports.com.au in July they would be prepared to sacrifice some money if it meant they could remain side by side on the northern beaches.
Now the club just needs to juggle their salary cap to accommodate both players on their books.
The thorn in Manly’s side is a number of other NRL clubs circling, with reports of huge dollars being thrown at the brothers as soon as November 1 hits.
Both players have been consistent in saying they are in no rush to get their future sorted beyond season 2020, so the Sea Eagles have time on their side.
What they could command: Fairfax and Channel 9 reporter Danny Weidler has previously written a club like Canterbury would be prepared to fork out as much as $1.4 million for Tom, and about $1.1 million for brother Jake. That’s a package deal of $2.5 million a season if it came to fruition. If they stay at Manly they would be earning closer to $1 million each.
