He most recently played for the Canberra Raiders.

Keegan Hipgrave has also agreed to a one-year deal with a Club option for 2022.

He has played for the Gold Coast Titans since 2017.

Pleasingly, Parramatta Eel Will Smith will also remain with the Club for a fifth season and has re-signed for the 2021 season.

Parramatta Eels General Manager of Football Mark O’Neill said, “We look forward to welcoming Michael and Keegan in the 2021 pre-season and having Will remain in the Blue and Gold.”

“We believe the combination of the new NRL rule changes, Eels coaching capability and our Club environment will bring the best out of these players.

“We are thankful of their decision to choose our club and are excited about working together upon their arrival,” O’Neill said.

I’m happy to reserve judgment, but I’ve never seen him as more than a penalty and error machine in his time at the Titans.

FMD!! He’s as dumb as Bea Arthur.

I don't think we're going to win the Canterbury Cup next year with these new blokes. Hopefully we get our act together soon and sign some decent reserve graders...

And then, once we've done that, we can start targeting some first graders...

Cartwright not announced in that batch. Hopefully we went cold on that idea.

I'm surprised Titans let Hipgrave go. Apparently they tried really hard to keep him.

I mean they obviously tried really hard, because our one-year contract with a club option for 2022 is hard to pass up.

Fair enough, but using the word “apparently” doesn’t make a statement any less outlandish or illogical.
