'Massive threat': Major NRL players targeted for Rugby360 recruitment

Could Roger Tuivasa-Sheck make another code switch in 2027? 

The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Warriors great is a target of the proposed Rugby360 competition for when he comes off contract after next season. 

The newspaper estimates the value of the offer at over one million dollars per season – double what Tuivasa-Sheck is currently earning with the Warriors. 

Former Kiwis Captain Richie Barnett told Heather du Plessis-Allan this is a massive threat to the NRL. 

He says they’ve always had to contend with competitions trying to recruit across codes, but the money and consortiums that are coming up now have too big a pool of money to say no to.
