Rooster in demand, Bronco eyes new deal, Storm extension for youngster
From transfers, new deals and retirements.

ROOSTER A WANTED MAN
The race is on to snare the signature of exciting Roosters forward Kane Evans.
The Wests Tigers are ready to launch a bid for Evans and entice the 25-year-old to leave his digs in Bondi and return to his junior club.
They’ve got their four biggest names off contract but that hasn’t deterred the Tigers from hitting the open market.
With Michael Chee-Kam, Joel Edwards, Tim Grant, Kyle Lovett, Ava Seumanufagai and Aaron Woods off-contract, the Tigers are in the mix for another forward.
Aside from being a Leichhardt junior, Evans also has a link to the Tigers through their coach Jason Taylor.
Taylor coached Evans in 2011 and 2012 as part of the Roosters’ NYC side and later worked with him when promoted to the role of assistant in 2013.
But the Eels are in the market for a player of Evans’ age and size.
The Eels identified Evans as a player of interest in 2016 and had hopes of being able to lure him across to the blue and golds for this season, although that is no longer the case.
Still, Evans is a player of interest for 2018 as he’s a rangy forward who can also play backrow.
And the club has several front and backrow players off-contract this year including; David Gower, James Hasson, Rory O’Brien, Frank Pritchard, Kelepi Tanginoa and Peni Terepo.
Having progressed through the Roosters’ NYC system to making his NRL debut in 2004, Evans has played more than 50 first grade games.
It should come as no surprise the Roosters want to keep him.
But Evans isn’t in a rush to make a call on his future, with his management waiting for a decision on how much the salary cap will increase by in 2018.
A Fijian international, Evans is pushing for rep honours as he builds on his 2015 City Origin jumper and 2016 appearance for the World All Stars.
