HURRELL THE RHINO?

Konrad Hurrell’s time at Gold Coast is over after the barnstorming centre signed a rich three-year deal with Leeds from next season.

The Tonga international had one year remaining on his Titans contract, but has been granted a release.

“He was a real crowd favourite here, he’ll be missed and it’s sad to see him go but it extends his career and we couldn’t stand in his way,” Titans executive chairman Dennis Watt told AAP.

“He’s a lovely guy and could become a real cult hero for them.”

The Rhinos have been on the hunt for outside backs following the departures of winger Ryan Hall, and centre duo Joel Moon and Jimmy Keinhorst at the end of the 2018 season.

Former Canberra coach Dave Furner will take over at the club next season.

TITANS KEEN ON KAHU

To cover the loss of Konrad Hurrell, the Titans are reportedly keen on luring Brisbane star Jordan Kahu to the club.

Kahu is contracted to the Broncos until the end of 2019 so he would need to gain an early release.

According to Channel 9, the Titans are preparing to table the Kiwi international a three-year deal.

SIO OFF TO SALFORD

The Sun reports Salford have landed Newcastle winger Ken Sio on a three-year deal.

The off-contract 27-year-old’s future was up in the air after being offered a “pathetic” contract from the Knights, as described by his manager.

He’s decided to head back to England where he spent two seasons with Hull KR.

CULT HERO TO ENGLAND?

Despite being contracted until the end of 2020, Newcastle fan favourite Nathan Ross faces an uncertain future in the Steel City.

According to the Newcastle Herald, the Knights have told him he’s free to explore other opportunities elsewhere following an injury-plagued season.

The Super League appears the most likely destination if Ross leaves, with the Herald reporting Huddersfield, Warrington and Catalans are all keen.

But given he’s still got two years to run on his current deal, the Knights may have to chip in a significant amount, a move that might seem counterintuitive with Ken Sio and Cory Denniss also heading for the exit.

Other Knights in limbo are forward Luke Yates and young hooker Tom Starling.

PRITCHARD SET TO RE-SIGN

Parramatta are reportedly on the verge of re-signing off-contract hooker Kaysa Pritchard.

Pritchard is currently without a deal for 2019, but Eels chief executive Bernie Gurr said the club was in negotiations to extend his contract.

“We are just working through that at the moment, we hope he is going to be with us next year,” Gurr told The Daily Telegraph.

MILNE EYES FRESH START

Former St George Illawarra and Wests Tigers centre Taane Milne is reportedly eyeing a move to the Super League.

Milne, who was sacked by the Tigers after failing a second illicit drug test earlier in the year, finished off the season with Mounties in the Intrust Super Premiership.

But according to TotalRL.com, Milne’s management have been reaching out to English clubs to make them aware of his availability.
