Roosters secure in-demand young gun on new deal
The Sydney Roosters are set for a major coup ahead of November 1, with highly-rated newcomer Siua Wong set to sign a two-year contract extension.
The 20-year-old, who played a key role in the Roosters’ run to the grand final after making his NRL debut in Round 18, has agreed a two-year extension worth $850,000 to keep the tricolor until final.
From 2026.
England star Dom Young’s older brother Alex followed him to the Roosters to pursue his NRL dream.
Wong was one of the most popular youngsters in both codes.
The All Blacks and Australian Rugby have been keen to secure the 20-year-old’s Test squad services, with several rugby league clubs and several NRL clubs tracking him.

A chance to take it from Bondi.
Instead, ahead of the NRL’s free agency period on November 1, Wong pledged his allegiance to the Sydney Roosters, who signed him as a youngster and sent him to university in Scotland.
Wong is under contract worth about $180,000 until 2024. The Roosters are not offering Angus Crichton a renewal after recent talks between him and Rugby Australia fell through.

Since then, despite these hidden reports, these discussions have died down. Crichton earned up to $1.6 million over two years between Rugby Australia and Western Power.
With Wong’s future secured, the Roosters have turned their attention to retaining forward Terrell May.
May continued to impress the club with a number of strong performances in the second half of the season.
Like Wong, May is eligible for free agency on Nov. 1.
The club is negotiating an extension with its management.
Wong’s signing is a huge boost for the Tricolors on the back of Nat Butcher’s extension.
Wong played in SG Ball and the NSW Cup last year and was tipped as a future star after his impressive performance for Fiji at the World Cup late last season.
After his debut season in the NRL, the Roosters moved quickly to seal him to a significant extension, despite the possibility of him receiving a big offer on next week’s open market.
