MANLY LOCK UP TALENTED BROTHERS<\/p>\n
The Manly Sea Eagles have locked up the services of talented brother Ashton and Onitoni Large through to the end of 2029 as they prepare for the future.<\/p>\n
Initially off-contract at the end of 2027 which would have seen them hit the open market, the brothers instead decided to re-sign for another two years.<\/p>\n
Regarded as two of the best young spine players in rugby league, they were both part of this year\u2019s Under-19s NSW Blues squad and Onitoni went on to make his first grade debut in Round 26.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth young men are fine people. They\u2019re humble, they\u2019re talented and they work extremely hard,\u201d Sea Eagles coach Kieran Foran said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are very well-liked by their teammates and very well respected within the Club.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe boys have their sights set on one day playing alongside each other in first grade here at Manly, and that would be wonderful to see.\u201d<\/p>\n
DOLPHINS SIGN NEW OUTSIDE BACK<\/p>\n
The Dolphins have confirmed the signing of a new outside back for next season following the departure of Jamayne Isaako and Jake Averillo.<\/p>\n
After two seasons with the Canberra Raiders, where he made his NRL debut and played 38 more NSW Cup games, Kain Anderson will join the Dolphins on a two-year deal through to the end of 2028.<\/p>\n
The brother of fellow NRL player Grant Anderson, Kain\u2019s switch to Queensland will likely see him predominantly used as a back-up option in the outside backs with Tevita Naufahu expected to make the jump into the starting line-up for first grade.<\/p>\n
\u201cKain has worked hard for this opportunity at NRL level and has shown through his performances in NSW Cup that he has plenty to offer,\u201d Dolphins CEO Terry Reader said. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a strong outside back who we believe can continue to develop in our system so we are excited to have him joining out Top 30 squad from 2027. <\/p>\n
\u201cKain has already had a taste of NRL football and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing him take the next step in his career here with the Dolphins.\u201d<\/p>\n
