‘I got a contract’: Sacked Broncos star reveals shock league return

The former Panthers, Cowboys, Sharks and Broncos hooker took to social media to announce the news but provided few other details.

The 31-year-old has not appeared in a first grade match since September 2019, receiving a ban from the NRL’s Anti-Doping tribunal not long after his stint with the Broncos ended after a drink driving charge.

Segeyaro has been available to be picked up by NRL teams since June last year, with his 20 month sentence backdated.

“Got a call from my manager saying I got a contract,” Segeyaro said in a video posted to Instagram.

Bulldogs terminate Lachlan Lewis's contract

The decision comes two weeks after Lewis was stood down pending the outcome of an investigation into an alleged incident.

"After issuing Lachlan a breach notice and following due process regarding his response, the club has decided to part ways with Lachlan, effective immediately," Bulldogs CEO Aaron Warburton said in a statement.

"The Club is committed to supporting Lachlan during this time and we wish him all the best for the future."

Lewis played 43 matches for the Bulldogs across four seasons, scoring six tries and kicking one field goal. 

Messi contract still valid

The ruling body said the only way for the Argentine forward to be released from the contract was to trigger a 700-million euros (NZ$1.2 billion) release clause.

The 33-year-old six-times world player of the year informed his lifelong club last week he wished to leave immediately, plunging Barca into new turmoil less than two weeks after their humiliating 8-2 Champions League quarter-final defeat by Bayern Munich.

Terepo avoids having NRL contract torn up

The Tonga international was expected to have his Eels contract torn up after his alleged verbal abuse of flight attendants on a flight from Tonga to New Zealand that resulted in police being called.

No charges were laid, however, it came two years after he was fined $15,000 for failing to alert the club about a careless driving charge in New Zealand.

The 27-year-old has been forced to undergo an alcohol management plan.

Given his two-match ban has been backdated, he will be available for selection in Friday's NRL match against the Sydney Roosters.

Warriors grant Johnson early release

Johnson requested an early exit from his contract yesterday after being told by the club recently he was free to look elsewhere, the inference being the club wasn't about to offer him a new deal when his current contract expires at the end of next season.

Minister angry over Manus contracts news report

Awesa said this to LOOP PNG after the Sydney Morning Herald  newspaper  published an article about a contract awarded to Hornibrooks NGI Ltd worth more than K15 million ($7.8million) to build houses associated with the program.

Awesa is a co-director and shareholder of Hornibrooks.

He says Hornibrooks was given the contract through the Australian government’s procurement process and the PNG government had no control over that.

“My name has been tarnished after the article by the Sydney Morning Herald for something I had no part in,” he added.
