BRONCOS SECURE SHAWN BLORE SIGNING<\/p>\n
The Broncos have confirmed Storm back rower Shawn Blore will join the club ahead of the 2027 season, signing a two-year contract.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old will make the move north after four seasons at the Storm, linking back up with Michael Maguire, the coach who handed him his NRL debut in 2020 at the Tigers.<\/p>\n
Blore became a regular starter at the Storm, but has struggled during the 2026 season with injuries and form, which have restricted him to only 10 games so far.<\/p>\n
However, the gun edge forward featured in Melbourne\u2019s 2024 and 2025 grand final appearances, playing 24 games across both of those campaigns.<\/p>\n
The Broncos\u2019 recruitment coup comes after two major blows to their forward pack stocks, with front row star Payne Haas set to depart for the Rabbitohs at the season\u2019s end.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, fellow prop Corey Jensen was forced into retirement due to a blood blot condition, while Brendan Piakura has been stood down due to repeated head knocks.<\/p>\n
It remains to be seen when he will be fit to take the field and Blore now joins Maguire\u2019s back row stocks alongside Jordan Riki, who is contracted until the end of 2028.<\/p>\n

\u201cShawn adds further big game experience and depth to our back row stocks,\u201d Broncos general manager of football Troy Thomson said in a club statement.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe knows what it takes to prepare and perform in the NRL on a consistent basis.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a hardworking approach to his football, and we\u2019re excited about what he can bring to the Broncos.\u201d<\/p>\n
TIGERS LAND VERSATILE STAR<\/p>\n
Jayden Brailey has signed a two-year deal with the Tigers, joining the merger club ahead of the 2027 season.<\/p>\n
The hooker\u2019s move was confirmed on Wednesday afternoon, with his time at the Raiders set to come to an end at the conclusion of their 2026 campaign.<\/p>\n
Brailey began his NRL career at the Sharks before making the switch to the Knights, playing 85 games across six seasons before landing in the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a very talented, young roster who have shown what they\u2019re capable of. I\u2019m really looking forward to adding my own strengths and experience to bring some success to the club,\u2019\u2019 Brailey said. <\/p>\n
\u201cTo work alongside Benji was a huge attraction for me. His vision for the club and playing group played a big part in my decision and I\u2019m confident my best footy lies ahead of me under Benji.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Brailey\u2019s pop Brian Brailey played 16 games for the Balmain Tigers between 1960 and 1962.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so proud to be able to carry on Pop\u2019s legacy and also carve out a path for myself,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
Head coach Benji Marshall also added: \u201c\u201cI like the person he is. His character, integrity, he\u2019s very knowledgeable, and a footy head who loves the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe brings a level of leadership that can help impact some of the young guys we\u2019ve got here, particularly the hookers we\u2019ve got coming through.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the things we found this year is we need to create a bit more depth.<\/p>\n
\u201cJayden gives us a ready-made first grader with experience who can play lock and hooker.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jett Cleary has requested a shock release from his Warriors contract, reportedly hopeful of joining his family at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":852631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,85,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-852630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-sports","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852630","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=852630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/852631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
