The NRL's lawyers will continue to meet Manly as they aim to extract more documentation out of the high-flying club as part of their salary-cap probe.
The Sea Eagles on Friday insisted they had been cooperating fully with the NRL, despite reports they had refused to hand over personal laptops and phones to investigators.
Two days after the Sea Eagles had asked for evidence of illegal player payments, the club is believed to have provided only some information to cap auditors.
It's understood the NRL has no power to seize personal equipment, however they can put pressure on clubs to provide it.
It is unclear whether a refusal to follow such requests could lead to sanctions from the governing body.
"Our lawyers are engaged in a discussion with Manly over the material they are seeking," a NRL spokesman said on Friday.
Fairfax Media also claimed a senior Sea Eagles official - accused by NSW police as the likely architect of the alleged top-ups - has supported the club's stance.
However, Manly said they were adhering to all NRL requests, after they had urged the governing body to hasten its probe and welcomed the arrival of investigators on Wednesday.
"The club is complying with all directions and notifications provided under the current salary cap investigation being conducted by the NRL Integrity Unit," a club statement said.
"Both the club and the NRL have been extremely efficient in sourcing and extracting extensive information and data that has been requested, with legal due diligence around this process followed throughout."
Manly have maintained their innocence over the affair, with skipper Daly Cherry-Evans on Thursday insisting the saga is already damaging their reputation.
"And, if in the end we are proven to be innocent, then the damage is already done. As far as I know, we're doing all the right things and we're complying with the NRL," Cherry-Evans said.
"We'll continue to do our job as players and try and win football games.
"And front office are going to make sure that they do everything they can to get this club's name cleared again."
