Tony Williams and Jeremy Latimore also haven’t been offered new contracts.

Latimore is expected to re-join St George Illawarra next season.

The Sharks welcome in several fresh faces to their squad, including Wests Tigers forward Ava Seumanufagai and North Queensland tough nut Braden Uele.

The 22-year-old Kiwi product made his debut for the Cowboys earlier in 2017 and while it hasn’t been announced by the club, his deal was signed months ago.

They are also promoting a host of talented youngsters from their NYC side into the full-time group including the likes of big units Billy Magoulias and Daniel Vasquez.

HOW MOSES BECAME PARRA’S BIGGEST BARGAIN

Mitchell Moses was essentially playing for Parramatta for free this season.

At least that’s the way the Eels have looked at it.

It’s understood the club has paid less than $275,000 for Moses this year, money they had sitting spare on their cap for this season which would have otherwise gone unused.

The premature exit of Kieran Foran meant the Eels had a handy little nest egg they could play with if a player became available mid-season.

Enter Moses.

It’s understood his deal at the Tigers this year was worth around $550,000.

It was an option in his previous contract he’d activated in June last year.

On May 16 the move was made official and Moses joined the Eels on a deal until 2019.

By the time Moses joined his new teammates, half of his contract had already been paid by the Tigers.

The Eels paid the remainder with money they couldn’t bank for next season.

TEST FUTURE PUTS WINGER IN LIMBO

Kalifa Faifai Loa is sweating on selection for the Rugby League World Cup at the end of the year, needing to pull on a Samoan jersey in order to be eligible for a Super League contract.

In a strange twist, the 27-year-old has been unable to accept a contract on offer from Huddersfield due to the eligibility rules.

To take up a deal overseas, the winger needed to play in at least 50 percent of all NRL games he was available for (not injured) over the past two seasons.

Faifai Loa missed the quota by just one game.

The exception to the rule is if you’re an international.

While the winger has previously represented New Zealand and Samoa, his Test status must be current and the last time Faifai Loa pulled on a rep jersey was in 2013.

It’s understood the Toronto team are also keen on bringing Faifai Loa into their team next season.

KNIGHTS SNARE EXPERIENCE

Jacob Lillyman is heading to the hunter.

After missing out on Adam Blair’s signature, the Knights have bolstered their pack with the addition of the former Queensland Origin prop.

The 33-year-old has agreed to a one-year-deal.

The physical contract is yet to be signed but has been drawn up and agreed upon.

It’s understood the Knights will confirm the deal next week.

COVER FOR CHOOKS

Roosters forward Chris Smith has signed a new one-year-deal with the club.

The former Australian schoolboy made his NRL debut for Penrith in 2015 but has had limited opportunity in the top grade.

Smith has made one appearance in the top grade this year.

The 23-year-old will remain in Bondi Junction until the end of 2018.

NO NEW NRL DEAL

From the NRL to the local league.

It would appear the NRL dream is over for Josh Starling.

Wests in the local Newcastle competition have offered the forward a deal for next season with an NRL contract not forthcoming.

At 27, Starling made 13 first grade appearances for the Knights in 2017 and has over 50 NRL games to his name.
