Cherry-Evans confirms NRL exit in shock call after Roosters win

Daly Cherry-Evans, the star player of the Sydney Roosters, announced his decision to leave the NRL after his team's victory over Penrith. The 37-year-old, who holds several records in the league, confirmed that he will join Hull FC in the English Super League for a one-year stint before concluding his professional career in 2026.
