Former Kangaroos halfback and Queensland Origin captain Daly Cherry-Evans will finish his decorated NRL career at the end of the 2026 season with Sydney Roosters before joining Super League club Hull FC.

Cherry-Evans joined the Roosters ahead of the 2026 season following 15 seasons with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles, where he established himself as one of the most accomplished players and leaders of his generation.

One of the outstanding playmakers of his generation, Cherry-Evans has enjoyed an extraordinary career at the very highest level of Rugby League, both domestically in the NRL, and on the representative and international stage with Queensland and Australia, achieving a multitude of club, representative, and personal honours throughout his career.

Since making his NRL debut in 2011, the 37-year-old has enjoyed an outstanding career spanning 16 seasons, highlighted by a premiership in his maiden season, representative honours for Queensland and Australia and 373 NRL appearances to date, placing him second on the all-time list for most NRL games played.

Hull FC described the arrival of Cherry-Evans as not only a landmark moment fort the club, but also for the British game as one of the highest-profile moves to Super League in recent years.

After making his NRL debut for Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in 2011, he helped guide the club to the NRL Premiership in his debut season, and went on to become one of the most influential players in Manly’s history as their all-time highest appearance maker and as captain for nine years.

He then made the short trip over Port Jackson Bay to the Eastern Suburbs joining Sydney Roosters for the 2026 campaign for his final swansong ‘down under’, with the Roosters currently occupying top spot in the competition following their dramatic victory over Penrith Panthers earlier today, including a brace of tries from ‘DCE’ himself.

A hugely respected leader and one of the sport’s elite half-backs over the past decade-and-a-half, Cherry-Evans joined an illustrious list of Maroons stars including the likes of Billy Slater, Cameron Smith, Darren Lockyer and Mal Meninga when he became Queensland’s State of Origin captain in 2019, leading them to four series victories as skipper.

On the international scene, Cherry-Evans is a two-time World Cup winner in 2013 and 2022 with the Kangaroos, and also added a World Cup 9s winners medal to his collection in 2019 with over 20 international caps under his belt in total.

A true-record breaker in the NRL too, no other half-back has played in the competition more than Cherry-Evans, while also holding the record for the most drop-goals and for the most tries as a half.

Hull FC Chief Executive Richie Myler said: “This is an enormous moment for Hull FC. Daly Cherry-Evans is one of the great players of the modern era and there are very few players anywhere in world Rugby League with his record, experience, leadership and standing within the game.

“When a player of Daly’s stature decides that he wants to come to Super League and, specifically, wants to play for Hull FC, I think it says a great deal about where this club is heading.

“This is bigger than simply signing an outstanding half-back. We are bringing one of the most respected leaders in the sport of Rugby League into our organisation and somebody who has spent his entire career operating at the very highest level.

“His influence on our playing group, our younger players and the standards we are trying to create throughout Hull FC will be enormous.

“We have been very clear about our ambition for this club. We want Hull FC competing for the biggest honours in the game, we want world-class players representing this club and we want our supporters to be excited about what we are building. The signing of Daly is a very significant part of that journey.

“I also think this is a tremendous signing for the Super League. Attracting one of the biggest names in the NRL to England creates interest well beyond Hull and demonstrates that this competition can still attract genuinely world-class players.

The Raiders have re-signed emerging prop Ata Mariota to a two-year contract extension. 

Off contract at the end of this year, the versatile forward will now remain in the capital until at least the end of 2028. 

The extension is a major boost for the Raiders ahead of the looming exit of veteran Josh Papalii. Mariota has developed into a key pillar of the Canberra pack since making his NRL debut in 2022 and has featured in all 21 games this season. 

"I’m so happy to re-sign here. Canberra is home now and this club has given me everything. I just want to re-pay that as best I can," Mariota said. 

"I’m so lucky to be learning off Papa and Taps. I just pick their brains and take anything I can out of their games into mine."

The Rabbitohs have extended prop Sean Keppie for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.

Keppie, 28, made his NRL debut with the Sea Eagles against the Eels in Round 2019 and has racked 134 first-grade games, 55 of which have been for the Rabbitohs.

“Sean has put his best foot forward at our club, particularly this season, and he has earned his new contract,” said Rabbitohs head of recruitment Mark Ellison.

“He has become one of the leaders in our forward pack and has adapted his game to the faster game being played in the NRL this year."

The Broncos have signed Samoan international Shawn Blore on a two-year deal from the 2027 season.

The 26-year-old back-rower made his NRL debut with Wests Tigers in 2020, where he spent four seasons before joining the Melbourne Storm in 2024.

Blore has since established himself as a consistent member of the Melbourne forward pack and has now played 91 NRL games including consecutive NRL grand final appearances in 2024 and 2025.

"Shawn adds further big game experience and depth to our back row stocks,” said Broncos General Manager of Football, Troy Thomson.

“He knows what it takes to prepare and perform in the NRL on a consistent basis.

“He has a hardworking approach to his football, and we’re excited about what he can bring to the Broncos.”

The Cowboys have announced the immediate departure of Matt Lodge, who will take up an opportunity in the UK Super League.

The Wests Tigers have also added reinforcements for 2027 with Jayden Brailey signing a two-year deal to join Benji Marshall's side. 

The Raiders hooker will arrive at Concord next season and serve as captain Api Koroisau's back-up. 

Brailey's move continues a family connection at the Tigers, with his pop Brian playing 16 games for Balmain in 1960-62. 

"I like the person he is. His character, integrity, he’s very knowledgeable, and a footy head who loves the game," coach Benji Marshall said. 

"He brings a level of leadership that can help impact some of the young guys we’ve got here, particularly the hookers we’ve got coming through.

"One of the things we found this year is we need to create a bit more depth.

"Jayden gives us a ready-made first grader with experience who can play lock and hooker."

Four-times premiership winning Samoa international Brian To’o will depart the Panthers at the conclusion of the 2027 NRL season to join the PNG Chiefs.

A Panthers junior, To’o made his NRL debut for the club in 2019 and has since established himself as one of the game’s premier wingers.

Since his debut, To’o has played a key role in the club’s sustained success, winning premierships in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, while also earning representative honours for NSW and Samoa.

Panthers CEO Matt Cameron said the club wished To’o success beyond 2027.

“The club has maintained a strong position that this cohort of players has absolutely earned the right to choose what is the next step in their rugby league journey," Cameron said.

"We are so proud of what Brian has been able to do for our community and fully respect the decision he has made.

“It’s an exciting period for the game as the NRL continues to grow, and we believe a strong competition is ultimately good for rugby league.”

Panthers Head Coach Ivan Cleary said To’o’s impact on the club extended far beyond his performances on the field.

“Brian is an exceptional player, but he’s an even better person. He’s a great teammate, a devoted family man and someone who brings so much energy and positivity to our club every day,” Cleary said.

“He’s been a huge part of what we’ve built here and we’re looking forward to sharing one more season with him before he begins his next chapter.”

Panthers General Manager of Football Shane Elford said the club respected To’o’s decision.

“We’re obviously disappointed to be losing a player of Brian’s quality, but we’ve had open and respectful discussions throughout the process,” Elford said.

“Brian has made a decision he believes is best for himself and his family, and we respect that. He’s given everything to this club and we know he’ll continue to do that for the remainder of his time in Panthers colours.”

Elsewhere, the Warriors have announced they have signed forward Sam McIntyre on a two-year deal for the 2027 and 2028 NRL seasons.

The North Queensland Cowboys back rower-prop has made 95 appearances since debuting with the Wests Tigers in 2020.

“He’ll provide great value to our squad as well as being a real help for the younger forwards on our roster," Warriors coach Andrew Webster said. 

The Cowboys however have re-signed emerging forward Kaiden Lahrs for the 2027 NRL season.

The Indigenous All Stars representative has this year registered 11 appearances in the Queensland Cup for the Townsville Blackhawks this season, averaging 101 running metres an outing.

England forward Morgan Smithies has become the latest international star to join the Perth Bears for their inaugural campaign in 2027. 

The physical forward has signed a three-year deal with an option for an additional two seasons in a long-term show of commitment to the expansion franchise.

Smithies made his first grade debut for Wigan in the English Super League and played 114 games for the club before moving to Australia to join the Raiders in 2024. 

The lock played a key role in Canberra's charge to the 2025 minor premiership, while he also tasted premiership success with Wigan. 

Smithies is the fourth English international to sign with the Bears and he's eager to deliver instant results.

"The opportunity to make history and be a part of the Perth Bears was too good to refuse," Smithies said.

"It will be great to reconnect with a few of the lads from back home in Perth. Mal and his staff have assembled a very strong roster and it’s an honour to be a part of it.

"This is a new chapter for my family as well. We are committed to the Perth Bears and it’s an exciting opportunity to build our life in Western Australia."

Warriors front-rower Jackson Ford has inked a new two-year deal to extend his stay with the club until the end of the 2029 season.

Ford averaged 173 run metres and 43 tackles per game in his 13 appearances in 2026 before a pectoral injury in Round 16 cut his season short.

“Jackson was in the form of his life in the first half of the season. He was awesome,” said Warriors coach Andrew Webster.

“We were really confident in what we saw in him when we signed him. We could see he had a massive motor and he worked really hard. He has proved that over and over ever since he came here. We love him.”

On the back of extending the Couchman twins last week, the Dragons have signed rising prop Loko Pasifiki Tonga to a new deal through to the end of 2029.

Pasifiki Tonga joined the Red V off the back of an NRL Schoolboy Cup title with Ipswich State High School, linking up with St George’s SG Ball unit in 2023 before earning an Australian Schoolboys nod mid-year.

He joined the NRL squad for his first taste of pre-season in the lead-up to the 2024 season, before again spending the SG Ball season with the Dragons, helping lead the side to their first title in 32 years.

Pasifiki Tonga made his NRL debut in Round 10, 2025 against the Warriors at WIN Stadium and went on to make 10 further top-flight appearances.

“I’m really excited to be extending my time here at the Dragons under Dean Young,” Pasifiki Tonga said.

“I’ve been enjoying my footy, and I believe in the direction that Youngy is taking us. I’ve been at the Dragons since I was 17 years old, I’ve grown up here, and I’ve built a lot of relationships. I love my teammates, and I’m confident that we are on the way up here.”

Meanwhile, brothers Toby and Ryan Couchman have committed to the Dragons until the end of the 2030 season while Jacob Halangahu has signed on until the end of 2029.

Previously contracted through 2027, the Couchman twins are now locked in long-term and will be mainstays of the Dragons pack as they look to rebuild next year and climb the ladder.

An Under 19s State of Origin representative in 2022, Toby was upgraded to an NRL deal ahead of the 2023 season kick-off and made his debut as a teenager in the side’s opener against the Titans at Kogarah.

Ryan, meanwhile, earned an Australian Schoolboys nod in 2021 whilst at Bulli High and was rewarded with an NRL debut in Round 23, 2023 against the Eels.

The Knights have re-signed back-rower Francis Manuleleua through to the end of 2028.

The 22-year-old has made eight NRL appearances this season debuting in Round 3 against the Warriors.

“Francis has always been an exciting young player, what has impressed me the most is how hard he has worked, both in preseason training since November and throughout the season,” said coach Justin Holbrook.

“He has always had the talent, what was lacking was the work ethic, to his credit Francis has turned that around to get himself into a position to play NRL and become a regular NRL player."

The Sea Eagles have announced the signing of rising New Zealand forward Kayliss Fatialofa on a three-year deal.

Blessed with speed, power and athleticism, Fatialofa has emerged as one of the premier forwards in the NSW Cup competition with the Warriors, scoring 21 tries in 49 appearances across the past three seasons.

"He's an exciting young player who we believe has the athleticism and skill to make a real impact at NRL level," Manly coach Kieran Foran said.

Products of Storm’s Academy, the pair have developed through the club’s player pathway, with the 19-year-olds making their NRL debut in Round 22 against the Bulldogs.

Watson began the season with Storm’s SG Ball side, earning his opportunity at NSW Cup, before making his first-grade debut in Round 22.

Watson was named Storm’s 2026 SG Ball Player of the Year and delivered a man of the match performance for the Queensland U19s in their 28-14 win over New South Wales.

Bowden, a talented hooker from the Kawana Dolphins, has also developed through Storm’s player pathway, representing the cub at SG Ball, Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup level, before becoming Storm Player #255 in Round 22.

The Queensland U19 hooker played in the Storm's 2025 Jersey Flegg premiership team.

The prop has not played since blood clots were discovered following his side's Round 7 win over the Wests Tigers. 

Since then, Jensen has undergone a series of tests and will require to use blood-thinning medication for the remainder of his life. As a result, he can no longer play contact sport. 

“Due to circumstances and medical advice from not just specialists here but from specialists internationally, the recommendation is that I can’t continue playing contact sport,” he said. 

“Since I’ve been able to train properly again, it’s been like a mini pre-season and I can do everything other than the contact which is the frustrating part."

Jensen made his debut at the Cowboys in 2017 and went on to play in the grand final in his rookie season before joining the Broncos in 2022. 

The forward developed into a crucial pillar of the Brisbane pack and played a key role in last year's drought-breaking premiership. 

The Sharks have signed Australian Under 20 rugby union representative Leo Jaques on a three-year deal in a major coup for the club. 

The outside back recently returned from the Under 20 World Cup and was at the centre of a recruitment frenzy from multiple clubs. 

Cronulla head of football Darren Mooney was thrilled the 20-year-old had opted to sign with the Sharks. 

"Along with being an outstanding athlete, Leo has the attitude, character and work ethic we believe will complement the players already in our squad," Mooney said.

"Once Leo made the decision to explore his options in rugby league, he attracted interest from a number of NRL clubs. He also had several opportunities to remain in rugby union, so we are delighted that he has chosen the Sharks to begin his NRL journey.

"We look forward to supporting his development and are excited about what he can bring to our club both on and off the field."

Meanwhile, Perth Bears have announced the signing of 2025 premiership winner Gehamat Shibasaki to join them for their inaugural 2027 season.

And the Chiefs have also confirmed the signing of England prop Matty Lees from St Helens for their entry into the NRL in 2028.

Watson will line up as player #003 for the Chiefs but will firstly complete a one-year deal for the 2027 season with St George Illawarra. 

A Roosters statement said Watson will remain with the club for the remainder of the 2026 season and will continue to play an important role within the club's NRL squad after being granted an early release from the final year of his contract.

Lees, who has played 12 Tests for England - including last year's Ashes series against the Kangaroos - and 199 matches for St Helens, will move to Papua New Guinea at the end of the 2027 season.

The 28-year-old has been a key figure in St Helens’ Super League title-winning years from 2019 to 2022 and has also earned three League Leaders’ Shields, the 2021 Challenge Cup, and the 2023 World Club Challenge, among other honours.

Teen sensation Heamasi Makasini has extended his contract with Wests Tigers through until the end of the 2029 NRL season.

The Campbelltown City Kangaroos junior is currently signed through until the end of 2027, with this extension keeping Makasini at Concord for a further two seasons.

A product of the Wests Tigers Pathways, the 2024 Harold Matthews Cup Player of the Year has progressed through Harold Matthews, SG Ball Cup, Jersey Flegg, NSW Cup and into the NRL.

The announcement comes ahead of 18-year-old Makasini’s return to the NRL on Saturday against the Bulldogs, after missing recent rounds due to bone bruising in his foot.

Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall said it was exciting to have Makasini at the Club until 2029.

Broncos forward Preston Riki has put pen to paper on a two-year extension through to the end of 2028.

The club have also extended the time of fellow forward VJ Semu, who made his NRL debut this season, to the end of the 2028 season.

Powerhouse Knights winger Greg Marzhew has inked a three-year extension that will keep him in Newcastle until at least the end of the 2029 season while edge forward Jermaine McEwen has also inked a new deal in the Hunter.

McEwen has re-signed for a further two seasons through to the end of the 2028 season.

Wests Tigers have announced that Sunia Turuva will remain with the club through until 2030.

Original contracted until the end of 2027, the Fiji international has put pen-to-paper on a three-year extension keeping him at Concord until at least the end of the 2030 NRL season.

His extension comes soon after fellow Tigers Jahream Bula and the May brothers – Taylan and Terrell – announced their plans to stay at Concord through to 2030 as well.

The Cowboys have re-signed playmaker Jake Clifford until the end of the 2028 season after he rose to the challenge to secure his first grade spot - and his future. 

Tongan international and former NSW Origin star Siosifa Talakai has joined Perth Bears on a three-year deal.

Talakai, who played two games for NSW in the 2022 State of Origin and represented Tonga at the World Cup that year, has played 133 NRL matches for the Sharks and Rabbitohs. 

The signing of Talakai follows the recruitment of Panthers international Scott Sorensen ahead of the club's entry into the NRL next year.

Sorensen, who played in all four of Penrith's consecutive premiership wins, has signed a two-year deal with the Bears.

The Kiwis back-rower, whose wife Elle is from Perth, will be joined at the Bears by Panthers team-mate Liam Henry. 

The 2026 season will be the last at the Warriors for representative prop Mitch Barnett after he was granted an early release from his contract for personal reasons. Barnett will join the Broncos in 2027.

Elsewhere, classy Tongan centre Tolutau Koula has signed a five-year contract extension that keeps at Manly until at least the end of 2031.

Koula is entering his fifth season with the Sea Eagles and is coming off a 2025 campaign in which he scored 17 tries in 22 appearance and was named the Roy Bull Player of the Year.

Broncos captain Adam Reynolds has confirmed that he will retire at the end of the season and hopes to bow out with another premiership.

The 36-year-old halfback announced at Brisbane's 2026 season launch that this year would be his 15th and last in the NRL.

"I've been thinking about it since the grand final," Reynolds said.

"Obviously, when you get to my age, it's coming to an end. It felt like it was the right time to just get it over and done with before the season starts."

Reynolds, who has won premierships with South Sydney in 2014 and the Broncos in 2025, has played 309 NRL games. He has also made two appearances for NSW in State of Origin in 2016. 

Knights forward Thomas Cant has extended his contract for a further two years through to the end of the 2028 season.
