Rugby Australia to target top NRL talent

[BuffaloRules]

Telegraph reporting that 12 NRL players have signed with R360.

There will be many more if R360 goes ahead.

We’ll see … why didn’t they sign more then when they were here ?

Because they are only talking to players off contract. Thats 12 players less for the Bears to sign.

If R360 goes ahead you can bet every player will be asking for an early release so they can go play Union for mega bucks.

Why wouldnt they ?

If a rival company offered you twice the money for half the work wouldnt you take it ?

It’s a question of how many they can afford and actually want …

it’s one thing to want outside backs whom are pretty interchangeable…history tells us that forwards are harder to successfully move between the codes …

I’m a little dubious also that the dozen players have definitely signed and will be leaving of it’s up and running ... does this mean Paps intends to leave ? The Storm are still talking about re-signing him?

A letter of intent isnt the same as signing a playing contract

So according to that Roar article, there is going to be eight franchises and 280 spots to fill. R360 can get union players from Ireland,,Wales, England, Scotland, France, Italy, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Argentina etc.

And yes, r360 can also sign players from the NRL and ESL. But i am sure there first preference is union players.
