As the 2028 season approaches, player transfers are heating up, particularly for the PNG Chiefs, who are keen to solidify their roster.
Sources, including Shane Flanagan, a coach previously with the St George Illawarra Dragons, and Phil Rothfield, a former reporter, indicate that the Chiefs are targeting Canterbury Bulldogs forward, Max King.
On a recent episode of Triple M, the analysts discussed how King is expected in Port Moresby for the start of the season.
Since his 2017 debut, King has made over 150 appearances for teams like the Gold Coast Titans, Melbourne Storm, and Bulldogs.
He has emerged as a critical player for his current team, demonstrating significant growth and leadership in the forward pack.
The Chiefs' interest in him coincides with the period starting November 1, when King can explore negotiations with rival teams, likely leading to increased attention from multiple clubs.
With talks ramping up, New South Wales Blues representative King could become a pivotal asset for the Chiefs as they prepare for their inaugural season.
