Garrick is coming into the final year of his contract at Manly but is reportedly set to switch to the Roosters in 2027.
The Sea Eagles had offered the goal-kicking outside back a two-year contract extension worth more than $1 million but he is set to ink a deal with the Roosters as a replacement for dual international Mark Nawaqanitawase, who is heading back to rugby union.
Garrick is coming off one of his best seasons with Manly after scoring 12 tries and booting 67 goals in tallying 176 points from 21 matches.
He switched between centre and wing throughout the season to be one of the Sea Eagles’ most consistent performers.
The 28-year-old has played 157 matches for Manly since his debut in 2019, scoring 1340 points, including 89 tries.
St George Illawarra were also in the race for his signature but he appears set to knock back his junior club to become a Rooster after next season.
Wishart last week toured the facilities of the new Perth Bears franchise as he looks to decide whether to join a new club in search of a regular starting spot.
The versatile 26-year-old, who is Garrick’s brother-in-law, has been sounded out by Bears coach Mal Meninga as a potential building block for their foundation roster when they come in as the competition’s 18th team.
Melbourne have exercised an option on Wishart’s services for next season but he is then a free agent and with Jahrome Hughes and Harry Grant under contract long term and Cameron Munster signed up until the end of 2027, there is little chance of securing a starting spot.
Wishart has been used off the bench in 57 of his 82 NRL appearances for the Storm since his debut in 2022.
His preferred option is to play in the halves and with the Bears signing Toby Sexton last week, Wishart could slot in at five-eighth alongside the former Canterbury playmaker.
