The processing over the past year has led to the discovery of 11 new pulsars (including two millisecond ones), thus tripling the initial count from the first pass, and hinting at the exciting promise of this first southern-sky pulsar survey in the frequency band of SKA-Low. All new pulsars need to be timed in order to determine their spin and astrometric parameters and to select specialised targets for detailed follow-ups. With the MWA no longer supporting routine pulsar observations for the coming year, timing follow-ups rely on other telescopes. The Parkes \emph{Murriyang} telescope, with an identical sky coverage, sensitivity and the wide frequency coverage, offers the best option to time SMART discoveries. We have demonstrated \emph{Murriyang's} suitability for this through a pilot project last semester and are now extending the project to a larger sample of 10 pulsars including two from the pilot project. The data will also allow us to study pulse profiles, polarisation, and flux densities from $\sim$100 MHz to 4 GHz. The analysis/results will be included in a publication in preparation that will detail the deep-search pipeline and report on initial pulsar discoveries.
