South Sydney’s hopes of fulfilling their NRL premiership potential have received a boost with Australian Test centre Campbell Graham agreeing to a new three-year deal.
Graham will remain at Souths until the end of 2027 as part of the upgraded deal, with Latrell Mitchell and Canberra's Jack Wighton, who joins the Rabbitohs next seasn, locked in for the same length of time.
Captain Cameron Murray, hooker Damien Cook and rising wing sensation Tyrone Munro are signed until the end of 2025.
The new deal gives the Rabbitohs a settled and potent backline for the foreseeable future, which they hope can help them win their next title.
Souths have reached the preliminary final or grand final in the last five seasons but have no premiership to show for it.
“I love this club, I love everybody involved with this club, I feel so at home here, so it wasn’t a hard decision for me to stay here and work towards winning some premierships here over the next few years,” Graham said in a statement.
“I’m very grateful to the club for putting their faith in me and wanting to have me here at the club.
“I’m looking to pay them back with my performances for the rest of this season and the next few years as well.”
Elsewhere, Melbourne have secured a new deal for blockbusting Tongan backrower Eli Katoa.
The 23-year-old, who signed from the Warriors last year, is sidelined with an eye injury but has earned a three-year contract extension with the Storm.
“We know what he is capable of and we’re looking forward to seeing him hopefully go to new heights with us in the future,” said Storm football boss Frank Ponissi.
