Morgan Smithies, an England international, is attracting attention as he nears a commitment to the Canberra Raiders.
The rugby league grapevine is buzzing again, and this time an England international is at the centre of it.
Earlier in the year, word was spread that Morgan Smithies was on the verge of committing his future to the Canberra Raiders, effectively taking him out of the free agency market and locking him in at the club he joined back in 2024 on a three-year deal from the Wigan Warriors.
The Halifax-born forward has added his name to a growing roll call of English forwards who have thrived in Canberra colours.
Yet as 2027 approaches, it seems he is gaining interest from both sides of the globe.
