The Sea Eagles are set to terminate Josh Schuster’s contract in the coming days and it has been revealed the club will have to pay the 24-year-old around $1 million just to cut him loose.

The Knights are reportedly set to hand an exciting rookie his NRL debut following a long-term injury to Kalyn Ponga.

The Sharks have delivered a stellar performance to down the Cowboys in brutal fashion, beating their opponents 42-6 at Sharks Park.

Kayln Ponga didn’t see out the match, but it mattered little as Canterbury put it’s season back on track with a six tries to two mauling of a lacklustre Newcastle before 17,784 vocal fans at Accor Stadium.

The Knights have been handed a nightmare injury problem, with Kalyn Ponga leaving the field in the second half against the Bulldogs before being put in a moon boot.

The Panthers can consider themselves lucky not to lose a man to the sin bin after halfback Brad Schneider wasn’t disciplined for what looked a clear professional foul on Tigers centre Justin Olam.

Penrith only signed Paul Alamoti to a one-year deal last year but the centre showed them why he should be extended as the premiers outlasted a spirited Wests Tigers 22-6 in Bathurst on Saturday.

Melbourne five-eighth Cameron Munster was booted to the sin bin after committing a professional foul on Roosters fullback James Tedesco in their tense clash at Allianz Stadium.

The Raiders have reportedly up the ante in their pursuit of young Eels playmaker Ethan Sanders.

Drifting across the field and feigning to play it short to Justin Olam, who already had two tries by that point, Lachlan Galvin split a pair of Parramatta defenders and was away.
