Roosters win 2026 NRL Grand Final; salary cap debate rises (8 clusters)
Daly Cherry-Evans leads Roosters to NRL Grand Final victory
Daly Cherry-Evans secured a premiership with the Sydney Roosters, marking a significant career milestone after his long tenure with the Manly Sea Eagles. His recruitment, alongside Reece Robson, proved decisive in the Roosters' 2026 Grand Final victory.
The win has sparked debate regarding the NRL salary cap and competitive balance. While the Roosters celebrate dual premierships for both their NRL and NRLW teams, critics suggest the ability of wealthy clubs to recruit high-profile talent like Cherry-Evans may undermine the perceived fairness of the cap.
