Manly's roster management is following the same path that made Melbourne the most successful club of the past decade as the Sea Eagles sink their future into a holy trinity of Daly Cherry-Evans and the Trbojevic brothers.

And Jorge Taufua says he and his team-mates are willing to work the Sea Eagles canteen to ensure local juniors Tom and Jake Trbojevic stay in maroon and white for the rest of their careers.

Des Hasler has taken up the slack in negotiations around the Trbojevic brothers' futures beyond 2020, with multi-million dollar, long-term deals on the cards to keep both at their junior club.

With Tom's market value hovering above the $1 million mark and Jake's not too far below, retaining both alongside Cherry-Evans would see Manly pour around 30 per centof their $9.6 million salary cap into three star players.

Craig Bellamy created an NRL powerhouse along the same lines, building premiership-winning sides around Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk for more than a decade.

The latest Sea Eagles-Storm showdown on Saturday comes as Hasler emulates Bellamy's knack of rebooting NRL careers with the likes of Moses Suli, Reuben Garrick, Curtis Sironen and Brendan Elliott hitting new heights after the Sea Eagles slumped to second-last in 2018.

And with Sea Eagles officials prepared to go all out to keep the Trbojevics cemented at the top of Manly's roster, Taufua is confident sacrifices would be made on both ends to keep the pair at the club.
