Telecrap is reporting that Roger is considering leaving the NRL at seasons end to go play yawnin’

We should throw the kitchen sink at this bloke! What a player

Great player sure but if he wants to play on a all black jersey the lure of cronulla is pretty low.
2023 WC he will be 29. That’s still value.

He would be a great recruit when we get flicked by the NRL and we re-emerge as a Super something team.

SJ will be a target

Can Roger adapt his game to a 7 who runs sideline to sideline?

As long as RTS can hand off a.inside pass that defence can read

I have feeling it's RTS manager testing the market early.
By saying looking at Rugby does that bump contract price or get more years.
How money does nzru have at moment as well

If he's going to play for the All Blacks I suspect he would be getting a pay cut. I don't think money is the main motivator for him.

Not trying to be a smart a***e. just some genuine questions . Do you think MoneyBill Williams lost money ,overall by playing with the all blecks ? Yawnion would also be pretty desperate with travel restrictions covid rules etc to get some positive publicity.ie Such as a WELL Known star from Rugby league . I reckon it would be difficult to make any financial predictions without having inside information ,in these confusing times. Maybe Yawnion Courted RTS as much as the other way ? Theres lots of coulda beens ,woulda beens with lotta money to throw around for the "right " reasons in yawnion. Make that "correct" reasons!... Im not trying to be political. haha!

Id imagine if you're a kiwi playing for the all blacks - you'd do it for free.
Its another planet for them.
Do not compare the softcock wallabies to what that is - we over here have no idea what it means.

I know and Have known a lot of Kiwis over the yrs. most just love the all blecks . But I dont think ANY of them would do ANYTHING for FREE!!

Hard to know. Assuming he got his Wolfpack money I expect he has made far more playing rugby league than he has playing union. He certainly has a marketability over and above playing either sport.

RTS was probably on close to a million dollars to play for the Warriors. Do you think NZ Rugby will pay anything like that for a league crossover unlikely to attract any extra eyeballs? I doubt it.

Fair enough , But is NZ rugby the only contributer to getting crossover players to yawnion ? And here I really dont know what Im talking about,... only giving personal perspective . I would be more motivated to watch a game of Yawnion with RTS playing than I would now with no one I know playing. They dont have Lomus ,SBWs , etc . RTS is a genuine superstar , IMHO. I couldnt even name any current Wobbelies or all blecks Players

and also on personal perspective I hate seeing great league players cross over to the darkside ,rah rahs!
