ENGLAND CALLING BMOZ

Round 20

Brett Morris has revealed he’s considering finishing his storied career in England.

Having announced his representative retirement last week, the flyer has now turned his attention to his club future.

Morris confessed to Market Watch that he’s long been interested in moving to the Super League at the end of his contract with the Bulldogs, which expires at the end of 2018.

“I’m off contract at the end of next year,” Morris told Market Watch.

“I’ve always had a desire to play over in the Super League and go over and see what their competition’s about, go over another side of the world at a different time of the year.

“In saying that, it’s dependent on how the body is going. If it’s going well and I’m still playing some good footy and there’s contracts here, I’m open to all options.

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

BID FOR TITAN BOYLE

The Gold Coast are a step closer to retaining exciting forward Morgan Boyle after tabling him a new deal.

The Titans have offered Boyle a three-year-deal which would keep him at the club until the end of 2020.

But the deal isn’t over the line just yet with the Wests Tigers also chasing the 20-year-old.

The Tigers are believed to have offered him a two-year contract.

Ben Ikin, Nathan Ryan and Ben Glover are joined by Raiders recruitment manager Peter Mulholland to discuss an innovative new philosophy behind roster building.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Throughout the week your columnist received several questions on Twitter about the future of Eels skipper Tim Mannah.

A rumour page has claimed Mannah will retire at the end of the year but such talk couldn’t be further from the truth.

The veteran forward has told this column the rumour is false and asked that we set the record straight.

Mannah signed a new deal with the Eels in December of last year, which keeps him in the blue and gold until the end of 2019.

Ignore the rumours and rest assured that Mannah intends to see out his contract.

Meanwhile, when the Eels announced the signing of Kirisome Auva’a, they didn’t clarify how long the deal was for.

While Auva’a has been listed as off-contract, he signed a two-year-deal and will be at the club next season.

New Melbourne recruit Robbie Rochow has caught the eye of the Wests Tigers.

The former Country Origin representative has become the latest target of the joint venture just weeks after joining the Storm from South Sydney.

It’s understood Ivan Cleary’s men are ready to offer Rochow a two-year-deal.

The 26-year-old made his NRL debut for the Storm in 2010 and has since had stints with Newcastle and South Sydney.

KNIGHTS TRIO LOCKED UP

Newcastle had three players who they had options on for 2018 and have taken them all up.

Market Watch can confirm the Knights had options in the club’s favour on youngsters Sam Stone, Nick Meaney and Dylan Phythian for 2018.

They’ve now been triggered and the trio will remain in the Hunter.

Stone, 19 made his NRL debut this year and shown great promise in his handful of stints in the top grade.

Phythian is a versatile player who can fill a role at fullback, hooker, half or lock but been sidelined due to a knee injury.

Meaney was named the club’s NYC Player of the Year in 2016 and is currently the NSW under 20s fullback.

Dragons backrower Tyrone McCarthy has been granted an early release from the NRL to take up a deal with Salford.

The Irish international will sign a three-and-a-half year deal with the Red Devils.

The 29-year-old could feature in the Super League as early as this weekend if he can get his contract processed quickly enough.

McCarthy joined the Dragons in 2016 and was named at second-row in the 2016 Intrust Super Premiership NSW team of the year.
