Trbojevic reveals Super League could be on the cards after Manly contract image

Sea Eagles stalwart Jake Trbojevic has admitted he's open to finishing his career in the Super League - but insists his focus remains firmly on Manly.

Speaking on SEN 1170 Breakfast ahead of his side's round 22 clash against the Roosters, the 31-year-old said he's been inspired by his time in England during the 2022 World Cup.

"I would never play against Manly, but I went in the World Cup in 2022 and it’s such a good experience," he said.

"It sort of opened your eyes up to that. That actually would be something very cool to finish off your career, but I haven’t thought about it too much if I’m honest."

The Sea Eagles forward, contracted until the end of 2026, was quick to stress that he's not looking beyond his current deal.

"I’m just happy with how things are going at the moment and hopefully just finish at Manly," he said.

"My contract’s to the end of 2026, so the end of next year, and they’re just working through things."

With Manly sitting just outside the top-eight on nine wins and nine losses, Trobojevic stressed the importance of building momentum in the coming weeks.

"The [Roosters] are a good side and they're right around us on the table so we have to win," he said.

"It’d be nice to really go out, perform well and obviously turn around last week because last week was a pretty tough performance for us."

For now, Trbojevic is keeping his eyes on the NRL finals race - but his comments will fuel speculation that a Super League swansong could be on the horizon.
