It seems Manly half Daly Cherry-Evans can’t help himself.

Refusing to hose down speculation he’s set to backflip on his Gold Coast multi-million deal, DCE instead added fuel to the most painful saga in the game.

“I guess it would be a curious situation to see what does eventuate if [Manly] do offer something,” Cherry-Evans told Fox Sports.

“There is still two weeks left, so two more weeks of speculation.

“There is a rule in place which gives Manly every opportunity to do what they have to retain me.

“With the decision, I have nothing to change at the moment.

“I’m happy with my decision to go to the Gold Coast, and as we know there is a rule in place which allows Manly to have a go at retaining me.”
