Melbourne’s NRL salary cap situation appears resolved with forward Sam Kasiano taking up a three-year deal to join the Catalans Dragons in the English Super League.
With the NRL season just a week away and the Storm still managing their salary cap ledger, Kasiano’s move will take significant pressure off last year’s beaten grand finalists.
The Catalans deal comes despite interest from St George Illawarra, who can apply for a salary cap exemption if Jack de Belin in unsuccessful in avoiding being stood down by the NRL.
