Finally some good news for St George Illawarra with the club announcing they have signed rising Gold Coast winger Nene McDonald on a three year deal.

The NRL All Stars representative will join his new team in November and is a timely boost for a team that is in drastic need of an overhaul.

Meanwhile, Melbourne has announced the signing of five players ahead of their huge showdown with Cronulla at AAMI Park.

Kenny Bromwich, Cheyse Blair, Felise Kaufusi, Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Mark Nicholls have all agreed to stay at the club.

The re-signing of Asofa-Solomona is a win for the club after it was speculated the hulking forward could be on his way back to New Zealand and rugby union.

“All five players are an integral part of Melbourne Storm both now and into the future,” Storm Football Director Frank Ponissi said.

“It was important for us to see these boys stay at the Club to help us strive for continued success.

“We look forward to seeing all of them continue to develop, improve and play good football in Melbourne next season and beyond.”
