Overview
- English international Harry Newman has signed a three-year deal, becoming the Bears’ first marquee recruit.
- Newman will finish his final season with Leeds before linking up with Mal Meninga’s squad in Perth.
- Reports indicate Perth has opened conversations with Melbourne’s Tyran Wishart and is preparing a substantial offer for a long‑term starting role.
- Storm management are expected to push to retain Wishart, whose versatility across hooker, halfback and fullback appeals to Perth’s roster build.
- Perth has also added young forwards Luke Smith and Marly Bitungane, who will spend a year in London as part of a staged development plan after missing targets such as Jayden Campbell re-signing with the Titans.
