It's alleged suspected Rebels bikie gang member Anthony Orrell was found in possession of the missing bling during a search of his house that also uncovered steroids, methamphetamine, cannabis and a drug pipe. Mystery surrounded the identity of the ring's owner before it eventually emerged it belonged to the Fijian international. Speaking for the first time about the incident, Koroisau said he was relieved to finally have his keepsake returned. "I lost it last year and [the issue] had to go through the courts and everything as well," Koroisau said. "People work their whole lives to get one and I stupidly misplaced mine. It's not going anywhere, I can tell you that. "I misplaced it, I think I lost it when I was out with a mate. I thought I left it at home and as time went by it didn't turn up. I was at a gym, I don't think it got stolen.

"It was found in a house up in Darwin, I didn't ask too many questions. Ending up at Darwin, it's a story to be told." Asked if he now wore the ring all the time, he said: "It's in the safe, I'm too worried about losing it again." The breakthrough grand final win was Koroisau's last game for the Rabbitohs before shifting to Penrith. While he was contracted to the Panthers for 2016, he was allowed a release to take up a three-year deal with Manly. While he will face plenty of competition from Brisbane recruit Matt Purcell, Koroisau is tipped to form a new Manly spine also consisting of Brett Stewart, Walker and Daly Cherry-Evans. "It's a fresh, new start," he said. "I was sitting behind blokes like Issac Luke at South Sydney and James Segeyaro down at Penrith. There was an opportunity here, I took it with both hands and hopefully I can start the season off. "There were some talks about [Wests Tigers recruit Matt Ballin] moving on and even if he did stay I'd still back myself to try and get over him for that position."

Walker was also excited about his own shift. The 21 year old has already represented the Kangaroos in the centres but is excited about the switch to five-eighth. "I only started playing centre three years ago, so having a full preseason there and having [former pivot] Trent Barrett as your coach, it gives you a world of confidence," Walker said. "Training has been good, the combinations are good, it's just about putting in the big dance at the big show."
