The ginger tom cat is back.


Spencer Leniu may reportedly be off to the Roosters next year but that has not stopped the Tricolours from making a move to bolster their forward pack for 2023.

According to The Daily Telegraph, former Roosters firebrand Dylan Napa has been given a potential NRL lifeline by the club after signing a second-tier deal with the team.

The report claims Napa will be part of the Roosters’ NSW Cup squad after being offered a “minimal contract with match payments” and could return to the NRL team later in the season.

That of course will depend on how Napa performs in the lower grades.

Napa was released by the Catalan Dragons late last year after just 20 appearances for the Super League club, with a statement at the time confirming both parties mutually agreed to the decision.


The 30-year-old last played in the NRL at the Bulldogs, where he was reportedly earning $600,000 per season before making the switch overseas.

No as a Chook this is the most stupid decision I can remember in the last few years. He wasn't committed to the Dogs or the French so I reckon he's had his chances.

Absolutely bizarre from a supposedly well run club.

Was once the most feared defensive player according to his opponents. . . And then they outlawed the shoulder charge and he was irrelevant
