Report: Panther Peachey set for Titans switch

By News / Wire

Penrith’s Tyrone Peachey has reportedly agreed sign with Gold Coast on a three-year NRL deal, joining former teammates Bryce Cartwright, Leilani Latu and Mitch Rein at the Titans in 2019.

News Corp Australia reports the Titans will formally announce Peachey’s $1.5-million move within the week.

The move follows months of speculation about whether the 26-year-old will leave Penrith, where he has two years left on his current deal.

New Corp reports Peachey wanted to look for a more attractive deal under salary cap rules and Penrith agreed to his request.

Peachey’s exit continues a raft of departures from the foot of the mountains over the summer, including that of former star Matt Moylan to Cronulla.

Cartwright left in early February, joining Latu and Rein under former Panthers assistant Garth Brennan at the Titans.

The Titans are currently in a re-building process under new coach Brennan after the departure of Jarryd Hayne last season.

The Panthers, who have spent the past five years going through their own rebuild, replaced Moylan in the summer with premiership-winning five-eighth James Maloney.

Maloney won one premiership with the Sydney Roosters in 2013 and another with the Sharks in 2016, after being on the losing side of the 2011 decider with the Warriors.

With the salary cap as high as it is. 500k a year for a player isn't that much to pay for one with any talent. Peachy if playing in the starting side, will be well worth it.

Who claimed he would be on 1.5mill? Is that over five years or what.
