Here's the DT column about the extension for those interested:
MANLY EXTEND TEEN PRODIGY
Manly have handed teenager prodigy Hugo Hart a three year extension until the end of 2028 after fighting off interest from rival NRL clubs.
Hart has played less than 20 rugby league games after transitioning from rugby union, having played schoolboys with St Joseph’s College in Nudgee last year.
The 19-year-old has already played NSW Cup and is destined to play first grade next year, if not earlier. With Hart appearing on the radar of rival clubs, Manly have moved quickly to lock him away.

I bloody hope if we get rubbed out of finals, they play Hart and Navale in place of MCK/Waddell and Sipley. What's the point of playing them anyway? They're leaving.
Same can go for Jazz at 9, vs Simpkin and Muagututia. Why not invest in those who will need the experience?
