Rugby union player and Wallaby international Mark Nawaqanitawase has agreed to join the Sydney Roosters, one of the biggest rugby league teams. This transfer may be the beginning of a concerning trend for rugby union.

After scoring five tries in his Rugby World Cup debut in France the previous year, Henry Arundell was said to be heading to the NRL. Talent retention is a difficult struggle.

Halfback Cortez Ratima of the All Blacks talked about “the chat around the NRL.”

Ratima told RugbyPass, “A few boys have been looking to go over there.”

Ratima said, “I don’t even know, aye,” to RugbyPass. “I suppose I would have to give it some thought if the chance arose.”

Rugby Union star set for Rugby League move

According to rumors, another Wallaby, Jordan Petaia, may be going since he is evaluating offers from three different sports.

By the end of 2024, 23-year-old Petaia will be free to sign with any rugby union in the world. It is said that he has been contacted by representatives from many codes, who are aware of his impending availability.

Japanese rugby teams, a Queensland NRL squad, and the NFL International Player Pathway Program have all been in touch with Petaia, according to The Daily Telegraph in Australia.

Rugby League star set for own switch

Notwithstanding his current contract with the Canterbury Bulldogs through the end of the 2027 NRL season, rugby league player Matt Burton, an Australia international, has stated his desire to play in the NFL.

The premier gridiron league in the world, which pays top dollar to players in major American sports, has seen a lot of success for Australians. NFL talent scouts had previously observed Burton’s remarkable kicking ability, for which he has gained notoriety in the NRL.

In the NFL, Burton’s ability to launch kicks high into the sky is a highly valued quality. Thus, it is not unexpected that scouts from overseas have taken notice of the talented youngster. Burton may potentially move to the centers in 2024.
