Rugby League: Players have been separated after an explosive Samoan Siva Tau before their international clash against England.
A race involving up to six clubs is taking shape amid the news Storm superstar Ryan Papenhuyzen could test his value on the open market, sparking a $1 million bidding war.
While Flanagan would then likely chase a playmaker, he would surely prioritse getting a player of Papenhuyzen’s ability to the club. Clint Gutherson is another reported target of the Red V, and the exiled Eels skipper could be a perfect option to slot into the five-eighth role. Reagan Campbell-Gillard has already left for the Titans, while Gutherson’s departure is also looking likely.
The Storm gun would also compliment Moses’ off-the-cuff attacking style, and his support play is second to none across the competition, especially when assisting after a line break.The Bulldogs have been on a signing spree in recent seasons, and whenever a quality player is set to hit the open market, Phil Gould is prepared to throw his hat in the ring.
Marcelo Montoya has signed to return to Belmore but Gould won’t be sitting on his hands if Papenhuyzen is free to speak to rivals. Canberra also lost veteran Jordan Rapana following the 2024 season, and Stuart could be looking to add experience to his backline. So it’s likely not going to be different should Stuart decide Papenhuyzen is the right fit to wear the famous green jersey.
