Brisbane premiership winner Gehamat Shibasaki will leave the club at the end of the year after Perth poached the incumbent Australia centre on a two-year deal in one of their biggest recruitment coups yet.
Bears coach Mal Meninga is confident he can get the 28-year-old to play the football that led to his breakout 2025 season where Shibasaki made his State of Origin debut for Queensland, won the NRL premiership with the Broncos and played all three Tests in the Kangaroos' 3-0 Ashes series win over England.
