More Marshalls in offing Benji Marshall isn't the only member of the family seeking an NRL contract for next season. Marshall's younger brother, Jordan Marshall-King, is hoping to return to top-flight footy following a sabbatical. Marshall-King was part of the premiership-winning Wests Tigers NYC outfit in 2012 and appeared on track to follow in his sibling's footsteps. However, the 24-year-old fell out of love with the game after a series of injuries and needed a break.

"I'm thinking about making a comeback, having a good crack at it," Jordan said. "Seeing how good my younger brother is going has got the fire going inside me again. I reckon he's pretty close [to NRL selection], he'll get a good crack at it." The Marshall brothers are also outstanding touch footballers, with Benji first making a name for himself playing for Australia's World Cup-winning mixed open team in 2003. Jordan has followed in the St George Illawarra star's footsteps by making the Australian side that beat the Kiwis 3-0 in the recent Trans-Tasman Touch Football Series. "It was hard to stand up to the haka, me being a proud Kiwi and growing up in that sort of culture," Jordan said. "Wearing the green and gold is always an amazing experience, something I'll never forget. I call myself an Aussie [now]."

Sironen on way out? Curtis Sironen is on the outer at Wests Tigers, who are unlikely to stand in his way should he want a fresh start elsewhere. The son of legendary Tiger Paul Sironen earned a call up to the City Origin side again this season, but is languishing in reserve grade. Given he is on good money – and the Tigers are jammed for salary cap space next year – he could be on the move before June 30 if another club is keen. Smith a class act Is it any wonder Queensland keep on winning Origin games when they have absolute professionals like Cameron Smith in their ranks. Not only did the Maroons captain attend Storm training on Friday following his Origin exertions, he stayed behind well after the session had finished to practise goal kicking as part of his extras. Symonds heads north

Tom Symonds has played his last game in the NRL. The Manly forward has been granted an immediate release that will allow him to shift to Super League side Huddersfield. Symonds has made 87 NRL appearances for the Roosters and Sea Eagles, but has only played six games in the top grade this season. At 27 years old, the former City Origin back-rower will be a handy pick up for the Giants. Storm sign Addo-Carr Melbourne Storm have signed Wests Tigers flyer Josh Addo-Carr on a three-year deal. Addo-Carr is one of the fastest men in the NRL and is a handy replacement for rugby-bound winger Marika Koroibete. The Storm were hopeful of getting their man before the June 30 deadline but the Tigers won't provide an early release. Hopoate back Canterbury's decision to grant William Hopoate permission to miss Sunday games on religious grounds is an admirable one, but it hurt them last weekend. The Bulldogs were caught short when Josh Morris was called up as a late replacement for injured Blue Josh Dugan. There would have been the temptation to put in an SOS to Hopoate, but the "Family Club" has respected the devout Mormon's desire to put his faith first. The former Sea Eagles and Eels three-quarter returns for Monday's clash with Cronulla after missing a month of Sundays.

Cronk deal near Melbourne are close to formally announcing the retention of star halfback Cooper Cronk. The Queensland and Australian No.7 will sign a two-year extension worth about $1.7 million, ensuring he remains a one-club man. The contract extension will ensure Cronk joins the magical 300-game club with the Storm, a milestone he may even achieve this year if his team goes deep into the finals. Thriving in great outdoors Jamie Lyon isn't the only keen pig hunter in the NRL. Promising Panther James Fisher-Harris grew up as avid outdoor man in the tiny town of Kokohu in his native New Zealand. "I've grown up in the outdoors going hunting and fishing, going pig hunting to get some food," he said. "If there was something happening in the family, like a 21st or a wedding, we would go fishing or hunting to feed all the family."

So what is scarier, tackling a prop or a pig? "Probably a pig," he said. "It's got tusks." Melbourne keen There's plenty of interest from rugby sides looking to tempt him back to New Zealand, but Nelson Asofa-Solomona is poised to re-sign with Melbourne. The monster forward, all 200 centimetres and 115 kilograms of him, has already made 18 NRL appearances at the age of 20. He will be making plenty more after committing to the Storm.
