The announcement follows the club’s two-year contract extension of 23-year-old hooker Freddy Lussick, who will be a Warrior through the end of 2026.
Zac Fulton, a forward for Manly, was released from his contract in order to play with the Bradford Bulls in the English second division.
The 22-year-old will play the remaining 2024 Championship season with Bradford at the request of Fulton and his management.
The grandson of Manly icon Bob Fulton recently played for the Indigenous All Stars in Townsville and made his lone NRL debut for the Sea Eagles in 2022.
Sea Eagles CEO Tony Mestrov stated, “We thank Zac for all of his efforts at Manly and wish him the very best with the next chapter of his rugby league journey.”
Izack Tago, a two-time premiership-winning Panther, has agreed to a new three-year contract that will keep him in Penrith through the conclusion of the 2028 campaign.
The news was released only two days before the 21-year-old is scheduled to play in his 50th NRL game on Friday night at BlueBet Stadium against the Eels.
The Panthers youngster has been in three Test matches for Samoa, scored 24 tries in 49 top-flight games, and won two NRL premierships since making his Panthers debut in 2021.
“I’m thrilled to have re-signed with the team. It’s fantastic to secure my future at my home club for an additional few years, even if I was previously signed here for a few years,” Tago remarked.
“I’m happy to stay here for as long as I can because the majority of the squad consists of young Panthers and we all have particular relationships.”
Max King, a forward with the Bulldogs, has signed to a new contract that will keep him with the team through the conclusion of the 2027 campaign.
The announcement follows the club’s announcement of the acquisition of former Kiwi international Zane Tetevano and former Rabbitoh and Rooster Daniel Suluka-Fifita.
South Sydney released 24-year-old Suluka-Fifita from the last two years of his contract, and he will now play two years at Belmore.
While Tetavane, 33, who was briefly with the Panthers in 2020, has spent the previous three seasons in the Super League with Leeds.
