Ravalava in reggies despite Lomax being in origin wouldnt mind him as a big winger bringing the ball back. I don't know his contract status might be worth asking a question.

I think he's alluding to paying some freight of those we've shopped to SL.

It often happens, such is the disparity in what players earn here and there. No one would be paying Sullivan anything near the £200-300k he's on here.
If players are on under 200k here then they might get something comparable over there.
Even there's a gap the bell club posts it to offload the player, especially when this usually means no NRL club is interested

Sullivan got homesick moving from Wollongong to Sydney …
Im sure he will be all over getting moved to the UK..

No I believe Reynolds gave the money up. I remember at the time what a great result it was for us that he was so selfless.
Reports: Hull FC looking to sign £180,000 half-back
Hull FC are a club that have had a torrid 2024 season but they’ve now started to make steps to rebuild for 2025 following the appointment of John Cartwright, and it’s now reported that they’d identified a star half-back to sign.
Heading into the 2024 campaign, Hull FC signed New Zealand hooker Nu Brown to play in the halves and that experiment was cut short by Brown’s immediate release on the basis of compassionate grounds.
Since then Brown has returned to the NRL and Hull FC have loaned in KR player Ben Reynolds, but there doesn’t seem to be an apparent pairing ready for John Cartwright in 2025.
However, Jenna Brooks of Sky Sports has now reported that the club are in for NRL star Jayden Sullivan who would command a whopping £180,000 salary.

It was reported last week that Wests Tigers CEO Shane Richardson was in England looking to shop talent and that led to plenty of links, however, Brooks has now reported on a number of those rumours that she has heard.
Speaking ahead of St Helens clash with Catalans Dragons, she explained: “A lot of the talk this week has been surrounding the West Tigers’ Chief Executive Shane Richardson. He’s in the UK trying to offload some players to free up space on their salary cap.
“Hull KR are taking a look at centre or winger Brent Naden.”
She then dropped the bombshell news surrounding Hull FC and their halfback chase, adding: “Hull FC are seriously considering signing half-back Jayden Sullivan. Now I can tell you that Sullivan comes with quite the price tag.
“I understand it’s close to £180,000 a year so he would be quite the marquee signing.”
It would be a splash signing for Hull FC who have already spent big money on John Asiata per Derek Beaumont. The Leigh Leopards owner tore into FC over their conduct when signing Asiata and revealed that the salary paid was “crazy”.
Matt Shaw of Rugby League Live reported that Asiata would be earning £220,000 and would be one of the club’s marquee players, meaning Sullivan would be their second.
It will be a new era for the Black and Whites with John Cartwright confirmed as head coach on a three-year deal with the ex-Gold Coasts Titans head coach and current Brisbane Broncos assistant being announced earlier this month.

Jeez...he is on 500k...we'd be tipping in a fair bit for the next 3 years.
Surely he manages a payout and release so we are not stuck with covering salary for such a long time.
Lump sum for the difference

2 years in the Super League under Cartwright would do wonders for Sullivan. He would come back to the NRL a much better player.

His contract ends this year so we're either freeing up cap space to upgrade Galvin/Stef or we're signing someone for the remainder of the year.

Yep, agree. Gotta do what we can to move him to ESL even if it’s on loan for a year (ideally sold is better).
Do think 12 months as starting halfback in Super League would help his game immensely.
