Warrington Tables Offer as Manly’s Trbojevic Extension Stalls Over Revised Terms

A disputed late change to Manly’s offer, including a ratchet clause, has pushed the fullback to reassess Super League interest.

Overview

  • Warrington Wolves have tabled a two-year deal starting in 2027 for Tom Trbojevic, which he is considering despite it being worth less than Manly’s proposal, the Brisbane Times reports.
  • Trbojevic had verbally agreed to a three-year extension worth about $2.55–$2.7 million, before Manly shifted the terms by roughly $300,000 over the life of the deal, reportedly leaving him angry.
  • Manly CEO Tony Mestrov contacted Trbojevic to explain a communication breakdown and outlined a reworked offer with 2027–2029 salaries of $900k, $800k and $700k tied to a broadcast-linked ratchet that remains in dispute.
  • The 28-year-old remains contracted at Manly through 2026, allowing rival approaches from November 1, and he has maintained he would not join another NRL club as Super League interest grows.
  • Durability concerns after early-2025 hamstring and knee issues have shaped Manly’s stance, though Trbojevic regained form late in the season and is understood to accept a possible future position shift with Lehi Hopoate emerging.
