Xavier Coates, the PNG Kumuls winger, has been named in the Australian Kangaroos extended squad for the upcoming Pacific Championships, sparking speculation on whether he will represent Australia or stay loyal to his Papua New Guinean roots. Coates, who debuted for the PNG Kumuls in 2019, has been a key member of the team and is yet to pledge his international allegiance.

Reece Walsh has agreed to a $5 million, four-year contract extension with the Brisbane Broncos, but his new deal is creating salary cap issues for the club. The extension, worth $1.25 million annually, could force the Broncos to part ways with either Selwyn Cobbo or Kotoni Staggs, both of whom are set to become free agents on November 1. With recent big-money deals for stars like Ezra Mam, Payne Haas, and Patrick Carrigan, the club has limited funds left for other players. Cobbo and Staggs may need to take pay cuts to stay, but it seems likely one or both will leave the team.
