MANLY chairman Scott Penn wants to give concerned Sea Eagles fans a $6.6 million Christmas gift — Kieran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans.
Penn has formally opened negotiations in the club’s desperate $2.2 million-a-season bid to retain the star halves.
And Penn told The Daily Telegraph he would be working 24/7 to have Foran and Cherry-Evans locked up long-term by Christmas.
Penn could become Manly’s Santa Claus.
Foran and Cherry-Evans, who look set to confront one-another in next weekend’s Four Nations final in Wellington, are preparing to be bombarded with offers throughout summer.
The Test pair come off contract together at the end of next season. Their overall deal could be as much as $6.6 million over three years.
Cherry-Evans has been linked to Brisbane and Parramatta, Foran to New Zealand Warriors and Canterbury.
The pair will attract around $1.1 million a season on the open market, Foran may even demand more.
Penn was upbeat about his club’s chances of keeping the pair and hoped to have the deal completed by the end of the year.
