Above is the link to the article. I heard about this on 9 news this morning.
Basically, I don't know which NRL club can afford him. There were 2 options which appear to be bulldust right now. The Roosters simply will not be able to afford him. His link to the Roosters was Sonny-Bill being his good mate, but with SBW at the Roosters commanding a ridiculous amount of cash, the chooks will have to shed a whole heap of players as it is, the simply cannot squeeze Quade under their cap.
Second team - Parramatta. Well they would've been an option until Prince Israel quit the Victorians and walks straight back into any NRL team he wants. With Folau, Hayne and Sandow on big dollars, the Eels cannot fit another big name into their team. Keep in mind the amount of money that's been spent paying out Kearney and co, the Eels need to mind their financial expenses, not just the salary cap.
Souths would've been 1 team I thought he could go to, with the release of big Dave T, but Souths wouldn't want him given how well Sutton and Reynolds did together this year.
Tigers would've been another though, but with Benji Marshall declaring he will not play Rugby (thank Heavens), and Braith Anasta on board, the Tigers are not short in the halves department.
I think the Broncos would be his best bet if they have salary cap room, but that's unlikely given they signed Scott Prince, which brings me to another option - the Titans. But I'm pretty sure they're close to the cap. What about the Warriors? Let's face it, Quade was born in New Zealand, and they did just lose one of their halves to the Roosters (James Maloney). Maybe they're a shot!
This all of course is if Japanese or French Rugby don't sign him.
