Nene Macdonald seeks contract with PNG Chiefs for NRL future

Nene Macdonald aims to return to the NRL and has expressed interest in joining the PNG Chiefs, who will debut in the competition in 2028. The 32-year-old outside back recently parted ways with St Helens and hopes to secure a contract with the new franchise. Macdonald is a highly regarded player for the Kumuls and recognizes the significance of an NRL team in Papua New Guinea. He is currently a free agent after nearly six years away from the Australian league. Macdonald played in a recent international match, transitioning to the second row, which could influence the Chiefs' decision-making regarding player signings.
