SIGNING SPREE FOR SOUTHS

Souths have masterminded one of the sneakiest contract extensions in the game’s history.

Sam Burgess has extended his deal until the end of 2019.

It was a deal done on the sly almost six months ago to ensure their best player wouldn’t hit the open market.

As a former Clive Churchill Medallist and English international, Burgess would’ve been one of the most in demand players on the market.

While the Rabbitohs are still fighting to hold onto Angus Crichton beyond next season, with the Roosters and Sharks bidding for his signature, Burgess is secure in Redfern.

So too, his younger brothers George and Tom.

At 25, the pair have played more than 200 NRL games combined.

The Burgess twins also extended their deals with the club for a further season.

While speculation the brothers were in the sights of Toronto was being thrown around, the club was already in negotiations to re-sign the pair.

With the trio tied down until the end of 2019, the club has been able to channel their energy into their juniors.

The Rabbitohs have a host of exciting young talents who will press for a start in first grade over next 24 months.

Adam Doueihi and Connor Tracey are two players yet to make their NRL debuts but are men the club has high hopes for.

Both are off-contract in 2018.

Take it as read. English international Alex Walmsley will not be released from the final year of his Super League contract.

But his management is exploring the NRL market for 2019.

How much would it cost your club to sign the giant prop?

His starting price is $500,000. Happy bidding.

RABBITS LAND TIGER

Wests Tigers backrower Junior Tatola has joined the Rabbitohs.

The 21-year-old played NYC for the joint venture and skippered the side.

While injury has prevented him from making his NRL debut, the Junior Kangaroo has a ton of promise.

Tatola won the 2015 Holden Cup Player of the Year Award and signed a one-year-deal with the Rabbitohs.

RAIDER ON THE MOVE

Widnes have signed Papua New Guinea flyer Kato Ottio.

The 23-year-old leaves Canberra for the Vikings on a one-year-deal.

Able to play centre or on the wing, injury has prevented Ottio from making his NRL debut but a move to England is the opportunity for him to kickstart his career.

“He is a big outside-back, with World Cup experience,” Vikings coach Denis Betts said.

“I am excited by the quality that he will add to our edges. He is relishing his opportunity to play in the Super League, and is looking to make a big impression at Widnes Vikings.

“Kato is a player who qualities we have seen during the World Cup.

“I have also spoken to several people in the NRL and connected to Canberra Raiders during my time at the tournament, who rate him very highly.”

SHHHHHHH

Dylan Napa is staying put at the Roosters. Source: Getty Images

It appears Dylan Napa won’t be going anywhere.

Rumours hit overdrive last month that the big man was on the move from the Roosters despite only recently re-signing.

This is not the case.

It’s understood several NRL clubs heard these rumours and investigated the possibility of luring Napa to their clubs but were met with a definitive no by the Roosters after asking the question.

SHHHHHHH II

We’re hearing clubs interested in signing Newcastle playmaker Brock Lamb are being asked for a three-year commitment.
