NRL: Wayne Bennett has made a cheeky dig at reports Souths will sign Brandon Smith, while his opponents Melbourne provided a positive update on Cameron Munster.

Bennett's cheeky dig at Brandon Smith | 01:17 Curtis Scott says he would have been in the mix for next Wednesday’s NSW Origin side had he not been exiled from rugby league , but is now so serious about a fighting switch he’s signed up to the team of UFC superstar Robert Whittaker .

That bout will take place on the undercard of Australian super bantamweight star Sam Goodman, who is risking a $1 million payday, his undefeated record, and guaranteed shot at Japanese megastar Naoya Inoue, to stay busy, fight world ranked Thai Chainoi Worawut -- aka ‘Rock Man’ -- and then throw down for all the belts against Inoue in December.

“So we’ve been sparring guys like Jason and Yohan – getting Curtis to deal with some range and height – and he’s gone really well.Doyle added Hall could be Scott’s last crossover rival, because “he wants to make a career out of boxing and I think he can definitely do that. In 2022, the footballer was sentenced to a 12-month community corrections order after being found guilty of three charges against his ex-girlfriend, and was also sacked by Canberra in 2021 following a nightclub incident for which he was later cleared in court.
