The Phantom Horseman Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Well here's a rumour from Aus...would be the ultimate boom-or-bust signing this, no idea if it's true obviously...link doesn't work but here's the story. NRL 2022: Disgruntled Joey Leilua thrown rugby league lifeline with Featherstone Rovers Joey Leilua has an offer on the table after the Wests Tigers opted against activating the final year of his $850,000 deal. English club Featherstone Rovers have identified Joey Leilua as the man to help the side earn promotion into the Super League. The Wests Tigers opted against activating the final year of Leilua’s deal, said to be worth around $850,000, leaving the centre without an NRL club for season 2022. But Leilua now has at least one option for next year with Championship side the Rovers offering the 29-year-old a one-year deal. The Rovers have been on the cusp of Super League promotion for the last few years and have fallen on the final hurdle. Last month, French side Toulouse defeated the Rovers in the Million Pound Game to earn a spot in the 2022 Super League season. The club believes Leilua could be the difference in helping the outfit realise its Super League dream. But before putting ink to paper on the Rovers deal, Leilua will make his professional boxing debut against former NRL star Chris Heighington on December 10 on the Paul Gallen vs Josh Aloiai undercard in Newcastle. While Leilua hasn’t given up on playing in the NRL, the polarsing back is prepared to resurrect his rugby league career in England. “I want to play in the NRL,” Leilua said last week. “If it’s not NRL, it may be league overseas, and if it’s not overseas it may be this (boxing). “Once I get something locked in I’ll be 100 per cent focused. “That’s what I’m doing right now with boxing, I’m focused.

That is a lot of money. Not going to find that down the back of the settee. Roughly £200 a head per supporter. Not going to work for full amount. So where is the money coming from if we sign him?

Monkeymagic22 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'm guessing he'd come over for a season, and then do enough to get a SL club or go back to the NRL. Seems unlikely to me, has he mentions not wanting to leave his ill mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Robin, yes it is my 84th season of watching and participating. You are right been through a lot in the past. Just been having memories of three of the mates I lost in Egypt and Cyprus. I will just sit back and enjoy. Nobody wants my help anyway. Nice to hear from you. UTR. Just thought if I have a Rolo I could give them a mint.

Whether he comes or not is a different matter, not least because, as the Grinder suggested, it's often the case that these stories get leaked because an agent is trying to provide leverage for his client. You appear to be sticking to your story that the club have deliberately leaked this (to an Aussie organisation rather than a UK one) but don't appear to have any evidence of why this is more likely than, say, an agent talking to a journo.
