The Perth Bears are interested in Raiders centre Matt Timoko amid uncertainty about his contract and reduced playing time.
The Perth Bears have shown interest in Canberra Raiders centre Matt Timoko, with the expansion side understood to be closely monitoring his contract situation as uncertainty builds around his future in the nation's capital.
Timoko, 26, has been a long-serving Raider since making his NRL debut in 2020, going on to play 112 games for the club.
However, his role has significantly reduced in 2026, with the centre managing just one NRL appearance this season as Simi Sasagi has been preferred in the centres.
That lack of game time has come as his contract situation also remains unresolved, with a mutual option in place for next season.
