The Weekend Wrap: 23/4/17

April 23, 2017, 10:12 pm By Joel Leave a Comment

St George Illawarra confirmed the signing of star five-eighth Gareth Widdop on a four-year deal.

Rabbitohs forward George Burgess faces a four-match suspension after being charged with a grade-two shoulder charge on Broncos five-eighth Anthony Milford.

NRL Referees boss Tony Archer admitted that officials made a mistake in awarding a key try to Broncos centre Tautau Moga during their victory over the Rabbitohs.

The NRL reportedly won’t register the contracts of Aaron Woods and Kieran Foran without first seeing how the Bulldogs will fit them under the salary cap.

Eels centre Brad Takairangi faces 4-6 weeks on the sideline after picking up a knee injury in his side’s 18-12 victory over the Panthers.

Tigers boss Justin Pascoe wants compensation for his own inability to keep top local talent.

Titans fullback Jarryd Hayne is expected to activate his option to remain at the Gold Coast in 2018.

The Titans could be without centre Dale Copley (back), utility Karl Lawton (hamstring) and back-rower Chris Grevsmuhl (shoulder) going forward, after they all failed to finish their upset victory over the Sharks.

Cowboys halfback Johnathan Thurston is expected to be named for Australia, despite not having played since injuring his calf against the Tigers a fortnight ago.
