Subscriber only Premiership-winning Storm halfback Jahrome Hughes is weighing up a potential $1 million sacrifice as Melbourne pieces together a succession plan for departing super coach Craig Bellamy. Hughes is one of the NRL s most in-demand free agents after playing a pivotal role in last year s premiership triumph. The New Zealand international has attracted interest from numerous rival clubs, some prepared to pay up to $900,000-a-season to lure him out of Melbourne. While the Storm are keen to retain Hughes they will not be forking out that sort of cash, with Melbourne s offer expected to be in the vicinity of $600-700,000-a-season.

Melbourne winger Josh Addo-Carr has signed with the Canterbury Bulldogs on a four-year deal that will begin in 2022.
The NSW origin representative had been heavily linked with Wests Tigers and was thought to be heading over as early as this season as he sought an early release from his contract with the Storm.
But the 25-year-old today finalised a move to Belmore. The Bulldogs have already secured the services of Nick Cotric and Kyle Flanagan for this season and will score Penrith’s Matt Burton in 2022.
