Canterbury will part company with Curtis Rona and Tim Browne at the end of the season in moves that could free up cash for a play at Kieran Foran.

Rona will cross codes to link up with Super Rugby franchise Western Force, while Browne has signed with Penrith.

Browne is an unheralded contributor to an all-star Bulldogs pack, making all 79 of his first-grade appearances for the club since his debut in 2010. The 28-year-old grew up in the Penrith district and the western Sydney club has tried for several seasons to sign him. The Panthers have finally got their man and will add the 194-centimetre, 112-kilogram prop to an impressive pack already containing Trent Merrin, Regan Campbell-Gillard, Sam McKendry, Leilani Latu and James Fisher-Harris.

Rona is contracted to Canterbury until the end of next year, but is poised to receive a release to switch codes. Rona has been a prolific try scorer for the Bulldogs since switching from North Queensland in 2015, scoring 25 tries from 45 games. His tally of 23 last year was second only to Parramatta's Dally M winger of the year Semi Radradra.
