McInnes is without a deal for next season and according to the SMH,<\/a> the Bears are keen to pounce on the Sharks star.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve reportedly offered McInnes a two-year deal until the end of 2028. <\/p>\n

Cronulla are open to keeping the 32-year-old but there\u2019s also been interest from other NRL clubs and even Super League teams in the UK.<\/p>\n

While McInnes has yet to make a decision, he isn\u2019t the only Shark with decisions to make on their future. Several Cronulla players are off contract at the end of this season.<\/p>\n

Teammate Siosifa Talakai is one who has been forced out the door, with Talakai signing with Perth.<\/p>\n

If McInnes is to sign with Perth, he\u2019d become their most high-profile addition to date. <\/p>\n

FORMER BRONCOS HOOKER AIMING FOR RETURN TO AUS<\/p>\n

A member of the Brisbane Broncos team that won the 2025 NRL Premiership, Tyson Smoothy\u2019s time overseas could come to an end sooner than expected.<\/p>\n

Less than 12 months into a three-year contract with Super League outfit Wakefield Trinity, Love Rugby League<\/a> reports that Smoothy has expressed a desire to return to Australia. <\/p>\n

It is understood that his family is keen on returning home and he has already approached the club about an early departure.<\/p>\n

While the two parties are said to remain on amicable terms, he is extremely unlikely to be handed a mid-season exit, meaning he will be there until at least the end of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

Set to return to Australia, the decision opens up the door for a potential comeback to the NRL and for Smootyh to add to his 46 matches for the Broncos and Melbourne Storm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cam McInnes could end his distinguished career out west as reports have emerged that the Bears have offered…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":656516,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,689,317448,4428,76943,7618,259603,317445,2057,317444,20773,763,2105,317446,154947,233821,11639,4466,761,762,3583,158,304097,677,3473,46,668,241558,62647,317447,107434,85,41505,3586,3439],"class_list":["post-656515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-bin-turns-game","tag-brisbane-broncos","tag-broncos-hooker","tag-cameron-ciraldo","tag-controversial-sin-bin","tag-distinguished-career","tag-europe","tag-ex-broncos-star","tag-fletch-hindynrl","tag-fox-league","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-hat-trick-hero-leads","tag-inaugural-head-coach","tag-love-rugby-league","tag-mal-meninga","tag-melbourne-storm","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-northern-europe","tag-nrl","tag-nrl-press","tag-oceania","tag-paul-kane","tag-perth","tag-press-conference","tag-shock-call","tag-sides-loss","tag-sin-bin-turns","tag-siosifa-talakai","tag-sports","tag-two-year-contract","tag-united-kingdom","tag-western-australia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=656515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/656515\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/656516"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=656515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=656515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=656515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
