The Perth Bears are eyeing their first significant signing by offering a two-year contract to Cameron McInnes.
Should McInnes accept, he would join Sharks teammate Siosifa Talakai as the inaugural players with State of Origin experience to commit to the Bears' forthcoming chapter.
Known as one of the toughest competitors in the NRL, McInnes boasts a remarkable reputation forged over a 228-game career that began with the South Sydney Rabbitohs in 2014.
At 32 years old, his pursuit comes less than a year after enduring a painful ACL injury in Round 24 last season, marking the second in his career. McInnes made his return in Round 8 this year following extensive rehabilitation.
