Super League star for the Sharks leaves; Dogs win cross-code competition for rising talent: Transfer Whispers
According to reports, following his breakout season in 2023, Broncos standout Ezra Mam has become the Dolphins’ top recruiting priority, according to Wayne Bennett.
The Dolphins are apparently contemplating a $3 million proposal for his services and have a war fund ready to make major runs at superstars.
In addition, the Broncos are supposedly in advanced talks to extend his stay in Red Hill, according to the Courier Mail.
In the 2023 grand final, Mam put up an incredible show, scoring a hat-trick in what appeared to be a premiership-winning effort.
The Dolphins are contemplating a strong offer for the youthful, explosive five-eighth, whose current contract expires at the end of the 2024 campaign.
Bennett told News Corp., “He was the best player on the ground in the grand final.”
Our attention would be piqued if he were to become available for purchase.
“It becomes difficult to recruit a man like that because there are potentially eight other teams interested in a guy like Ezra. But we’ll be in the running if he’s free.
Powerbrokers for the Broncos are apparently certain they will sign the five-eighth for a long time, but they have a problem with the wage cap since Reece Walsh is also expected to receive a significant raise.
The Dolphins will benefit from having a surplus of cap space following the 2024 season, since 12 players will have their contracts expire.
SUPER LEAGUE SWITCH OF MOYLAN
Sharks’ fifth and eighth According to reports, Matt Moylan has discussed a quick swap with Leigh Leopards, a Super League team.
This is true even though he still has a year left on his contract with the Cronulla club and turned down the Catalans Dragons’ interest earlier this year.
According to the SMH, the 32-year-old may now decide to join Adrian Lam’s Challenge Cup-winning team.
Last season at Cronulla, Braydon Trindall was given the No. 6 shirt to join Nicho Hynes, replacing Moylan, who fell out of favor.
It is doubtful that the Sharks would prevent Leigh from leaving, given he still has one remaining seat in their foreign quota for the 2024 campaign.
PUPPS CAPTURE A RISING STAR
According to reports, the Bulldogs defeated the Swans to guarantee rising halfback Mitchell Woods’ long-term future.
The SMH claims that Woods is regarded by many as one of the AFL’s and rugby league’s most promising young players.
The Bulldogs and Swans were allegedly vying for his signing, and rugby league legend Phil Gould was said to have played a significant role in keeping him.
Woods will participate in the team’s halfback program and is apparently viewed as a player the team can develop around for years to come.
Gould declared, “One of the most incredible young talents you can ever imagine is Mitchell Woods.”
