IN-FORM Bulldogs pivot Braith Anasta revealed a return to the NSW side could be enough to secure his future in rugby league as it emerged his manager had made an official approach to rugby union.
Anasta went public with his desire to reclaim a Blues jersey as he joined his City team-mates in camp for Friday night's game against Country in Lismore, on NSW's north coast.
"If I know the opportunity is there in league and I can see myself representing in the future and reaching the goals I'd love to in league, I couldn't really see myself moving anywhere," Anasta said.
"But if I can't see myself reaching those goals, there may be goals elsewhere."
Anasta's manager, Greg Willett, confirmed last night he had sent a letter to the NSWRU to express his client's interest in switching codes.
"They said you have to send a letter of intent to NSW rugby," Willett said. "I sent a letter to the boss there and said, 'what's your interest in Braith Anasta?'.
"It wasn't that he's going to rugby union. But I would be an idiot if I didn't find out what they're offering. He's got to make a decision soon. This letter is to find out what's on offer from rugby."
The Bulldogs have already made the talented playmaker an offer but Anasta has indicated he could test his worth on the open market after June 30.
Asked whether he had any clue as to where he would be playing next year, Anasta replied: "Not really, I have no idea. It's so hard. Canterbury came with the offer some time ago and me and my manager didn't accept it.
"I haven't heard back since and I haven't been able to talk to anyone else because of the June 30 thing, so I don't know who's interested and who's not.
"There's going to come a time when everything is going to be put out in front of me and I can make my decision."
Soft as. If he's good enough, he'll make Origin. If he's not, we've got to put him in anyway or he might go to yawnyawn :roll: :roll: :roll:
Can you believe the ego on this guy?
