The PNG Chiefs's roster is beginning to take shape, with former NSW State of Origin utility Connor Watson and English Test prop Matty Lees joining the NRL's newest club.
Watson confirmed on Tuesday he would leave the Sydney Roosters at the end of this season, signing a one-year deal with St George Illawarra for 2027 before linking up with the Chiefs for their maiden campaign in 2028.
Wests Tigers five-eighth Jarome Luai was the Chiefs' first signing, with the start-up outfit since adding the signature of the greatest tryscorer in the history of Australian rugby league, South Sydney winger Alex Johnston.
Watson, who can play lock, hooker and has previously played in the halves, has signed a two-year deal after recently travelling to Port Moresby.
