One of eight players who were farewelled by the Gold Coast Titans<\/a> at their end-of-season awards night, Jacob Alick-Wiencke<\/a> is reportedly close to signing with a new team for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n A ten-time international for Papua New Guinea<\/a>, Alick-Wiencke was farewelled by the Titans after playing 19 matches for them over the past three seasons, eight of which came during the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n Spending the majority of his tenure in the QLD Cup<\/a>, he is still managed to be a regular for the Kumuls on the international stage and could now link up with teammates Edwin Ipape<\/a> and Lachlan Lam<\/a> at club level.<\/p>\n Currently without a contract for next season, Alick-Wiencke is set to join the Leigh Leopards<\/a> in the Super League<\/a>, with the Adrian Lam-coached side closing in on signing him, per All Out Rugby League.<\/a><\/p>\n This comes after former Manly Sea Eagles<\/a> forward Ben Condon<\/a> failed a medical after agreeing to join the club.<\/p>\n It isn’t the first time the forward has been linked with the Super League<\/a> competition, having previously been close to signing with Hull FC<\/a> ahead of the 2024 season before being extended by the Titans.<\/p>\n “I think he’s probably one of the classiest players in the world at the moment,” Alick-Wiencke told\u00a0Zero Tackle\u00a0in 2024 about Lachlan Lam who could soon become his club teammate.<\/a><\/p>\n “Probably a bit biased in that sense but I love Lammy [Lachlan Lam<\/a>]. He’s a great fella off the field and absolutely killing it on the field.<\/p>\n “I think any\u00a0NRL<\/a>\u00a0club would be lucky to have him and he’s just in that sort of sweet spot…so any\u00a0NRL<\/a>\u00a0club should be on the lookout for him.”<\/p>\n
