Penrith signed Keahn Skipps, possibly leading Sandon Smith to join the Raiders.
Penrith's acquisition of young playmaker Keahn Skipps from Canberra may pave the way for Sandon Smith to join the Raiders. Recent reports indicate that Smith is in talks with the Raiders, who have recently seen a decline in their playmaking options.
NRL halfback Jamal Fogarty will be transferring to Manly on a three-year contract, with young prospect Ethan Sanders likely to step into his position. Skipps had also been considered for this role and had captained Canberra's Jersey Flegg (Under-21) squad.
However, it was revealed this week that Skipps has signed a three-year contract with Ivan Cleary at the Panthers. With both Fogarty and Skipps leaving, this could explain the Raiders' interest in Smith.
