Mitchell Pearce to Manly: Daly Cherry-Evans offers to move to five-eighth to make room for Pearce
Phil Rothfield, Sports Editor-at-Large, The Daily Telegraph

MANLY skipper Daly Cherry Evans has unselfishly volunteered a positional switch to five-eighth to pave the way for Mitchell Pearce’s signing at the Sea Eagles.
Pearce insists he wants to play at No.7 and has been given that guarantee by Sea Eagles coach Trent Barrett with the blessing of DCE, according to Manly sources.
The Sea Eagles have been in talks with Pearce since early October when it was first revealed the Sydney Roosters had prioritised Cooper Cronk as their next major signing.
The way Barrett coaches, Cherry Evans would control one side and Pearce the other.
DCE is open to the change Picture. Phil Hillyard
It would be a fitting partnership in that they both, rightly or wrongly, have been two of the NRL’s most maligned players of recent years.
Only one hurdle remains before Manly finalise his contract — a salary cap clearance from NRL auditors to pay Pearce around $2.7 million over three years.
The club have released five-eighth Blake Green to the New Zealand Warriorsbut are still under an integrity unit investigation from the past three years.
Emails involving third-party payments have been uncovered.

There is a potential problem, although nothing anywhere near as serious as the Parramatta Eels scandal of 2016.
Pearce’s contract would have to be back-ended and average out at $900,000 a season to accommodate him at Brookvale in 2018.
Even with Green gone, Manly have only $500,000 in next year’s cap. They would have to pay Pearce $2.2 million over the following two years.
There other alternative is to release a mid-range player, not that Barrett is keen to do that.
Cronulla and the Newcastle Knights are not out of the running yet but it is clear the Sea Eagles are Pearce’s first choice, providing the NRL accepts the deal.
Pearce is due to meet the Sea Eagles, Sharks and Knights in the coming days to finalise his plans.
The money available in Newcastle would make Pearce almost the highest paid player in the game but he clearly wants to remain in Sydney.
Pearce gave the impression he had made up his mind about next year when he calmly sat down with coach Trent Robinson on Monday to ask for the release.
He looked settled, comfortable and without a worry in the world, extremely unusual for someone about to end a 10-year association with an NRL club.

Whoever was (is) doing deals for us needs to be replaced for us to only have 500k left in cap is laughable. Oh wait a minute the story is written by pisshead rothfield who is clearly doing the bidding for the sharks. If it is true (a big if) I'm not a fan of us getting into these back ended deals again they always come home to bite.

It appears that @Supreme Leader has passed on some very nice intel.

2016 Squeels 1.5 million over the cap. They shed Watmough, Peats and Paulo. Since then they sign Matagi, Brown, auvaa, Pritchard, Moses, Evans, maybe also Napa and Hayne. And they get a brand new stadium despite the fact there was nothing wrong with the old one. And the man who runs the game has declared that he wants the Eels to be Sydney’s version of the Broncos. And we’re under investigation, nice one Toddles you corrupt pr1ck.

I just do not understand how after losing Matai, Stewart, Lawerance, Myles, Green, Hastings and the cap increasing by 1.5 million from last season Manly only have $500 thousand left in there cap. Other clubs such a Roosters, Broncos, Sharks and Parra seem to have signed five to six first graders but still have more cap money remaining than Manly.

That's because it's just a number, one plays left, the other right. What the article does communicate to Mitchell is a resounding, we want you at our club mate, and straight from the mouth of our most influential player. Admittedly it's done with way more class than Gallen, Wade, Flanagan and Kenny-Dowell. But that is to be expected from Manly. At the end of the day, Gallen is a big mouth, classless in every sense of the word, and in containment of an inflated ego the size of Africa.
The same guy who did the sums on the roosters being able to afford Cronk and Pearce with room to spare
Nobody knows for sure other than the club themselves, anything else is only speculation
However I can see where a big chunk of it has gone. First of all, the cap has increased, but so has the squad size from 25 to 30 so that's not as significant as it seems
A lot of deals these days aren't done on money figures, but on %, so if the cap rises, those players on the % deal with have their money rising as well, I'd imagine DCE will be one of those
The Trbojevic brothers, id imagine this year, we were paying them 600k combined, maybe 700k. Next season onwards I'd imagine that is now up around 1.4-1.5 million
So many factors involved that's it's impossible to know where we sit
Parramatta are getting a new stadium because the area is set to grow massively and teams from 3 different codes play there.
