Raiders hooker Tom Starling linked to Manly Sea Eagles move

Canberra Raiders hooker Tom Starling is reportedly under consideration for a move to the Manly Sea Eagles as the club seeks a long-term option at the nine position. Starling, who has over 150 NRL games of experience, began 2026 as the Raiders' first-choice hooker but lost that role to Owen Pattie. The Sea Eagles are looking to fill the void left by Apisai Koroisau, and while Starling is still under contract, he is ineligible to negotiate with rival clubs until November 1. Manly is assessing its options as they prepare for the 2027 NRL season.
