Overview

• Multiple outlets report the NRL’s leading try-scorer has notified the Sydney Roosters he intends to finish with the club after the 2026 season to switch back to rugby union.
• He is expected to target an overseas union deal rather than an Australian Super Rugby contract, with destination and terms yet to be confirmed.
• Rugby Australia’s rollback of the previous overseas-eligibility restriction means he would remain available for Wallabies selection at the 2027 home World Cup.
• The winger’s breakout season has him topping the try-scoring charts and positioned for selection in Kevin Walters’ Kangaroos squad for the Ashes tour to England.
• The Roar reports the Queensland Reds are interested and suggests a final decision is not yet formalised despite his indication to the Roosters.
