Wests Tigers have given star prop Stefano Utoikamanu permission to officially negotiate with rival clubs in order to bring his contract saga to a head.

NRL rivals led by Canberra and Melbourne have been keenly monitoring negotiations

The Tigers have brought that scenario forward following a meeting this week, which allows the club to explore potential replacement options should Utoikamanu leave at season’s end. “Stefano has given us no indication that he wants to leave, but he does want to have a look around, and we are totally comfortable with that.”

Canberra are in the process of overhauling their own roster, with off-contract winger Nick Cotric to take up a three-year deal with Catalans, who have also signed Elliott Whitehead for a Super League swansong next season.The Raiders have also agreed a transfer fee for highly rated Warrington back-rower Matty Nicholson to replace Whitehead on a three-year deal next year, but can still accommodate Utoikamanu’s asking price in 2025 if he comes off contract.
