The worst kept secret in rugby league may just get a whole lot louder with reports from Channel Nine that not only is coach Geoff Toovey heading for the exit but fourteen first graders have reportedly been told they won’t be required for 2016.

Willie Mason, Justin Horo, Josh Starling, Matt Ballin and Feleti Mateo are among the players.

Trent Barrett is expected to take over in 2016 and under a new regime, the Sea Eagles may get the cleanout they so desperately need.

Manly are at the wrong end of the table and could possibly pick up their first wooden spoon in the club’s history.

The club will face the media this afternoon.
