Ryan Papenhuyzen has inked a one-year deal to remain with the Melbourne Storm until the end of the 2026 season, with the flashy fullback confident that their core group is “building something special” after their run to this year’s grand final. His contract status has been one of the major talking points in the off-season ever since he was able to start talking with rival clubs on November 1, but despite being linked with a move to the Bulldogs, Papenhuyzen has agreed to remain in Melbourne. He could have earned more money elsewhere, but the 2020 Clive Churchill Medal winner can see something special brewing after they won the minor premiership but fell short on grand final night. Papenhuyzen, Jahrome Hughes and Harry Grant are all signed until the end of 2026, while fellow spine member Cameron Munster is locked in until 2027 which means their premiership window is very much alive. “I feel like we’re building something special here and I have a real drive to see that through,” Papenhuyzen said.
