STAR half-back Daly Cherry-Evans has started preliminary investigations into reneging on a $5 million deal with Gold Coast to stay with Manly.
The Daily Telegraph understands the Sea Eagles know of Cherry-Evans' private desire to remain at Brookvale and have held internal discussions about the matter.
One source close to the drama: "Daly never wanted to leave Manly in the first place."

Gold Coast would be absolutely filthy if Cherry-Evans walked away from the deal, given five-eighth Aidan Sezer will leave after signing with Canberra.
The Raiders will be watching developments closely, given Sezer could also decide to stay at the Titans.

When contacted by The Daily Telegraph on Thursday, Manly chairman Scott Penn only said: "No comment."
There is little doubt Cherry-Evans is thinking about backflipping but there is still no guarantee it will happen.
He signed with Gold Coast to be near his close mate, fellow Queenslander State of Origin star Nate Myles. Ironically, Myles has also been linked to a switch to Manly.
Cherry-Evans' wife, Vessa, was born and bred on Sydney's northern beaches. They have just built a new home in the area.
The Sea Eagles have plenty of cash to throw at Cherry-Evans. They were rocked last month when Cherry-Evans signed with Gold Coast and five-eighth Kieran Foran announced he was joining Parramatta from next season.
Foran has no intention on reneging on his deal with the Eels.
Gold Coast were said to be "floored" by the Cherry-Evans speculation on Thursday.
Orr is believed to have told Titans officials Cherry-Evans will be honouring his four-year deal.
Titans CEO Graham Annesley has refuted an speculation the playmaker will not honour the deal he made with the club.
"Following media speculation over the last few hours I have spoken directly with Gavin Orr and Chris Orr of Pacific Sports Management," Annesley said.
"I have been assured that any suggestion Daly Cherry Evans will not be honouring his contract with the Titans is untrue".
Gold Coast officials though are still deeply concerned at the possibility Cherry-Evans may remain at Manly.

Cherry-Evans' signing at Robina was one of the biggest in the club's history. A decision to renege would have massive ramifications on the Titans.
Conversely, Manly and their fans would be delighted to retain the Queensland and Australian star.
Cherry-Evans' form has been modest this season and he is close to being overlooked for the Australian Test side.
There are also reports the Sydney Roosters are working on Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, who signed with the New Zealand Warriors last week.
The Roosters want Tuivasa-Sheck to renege before round 13 and remain at Bondi.
