Australian NRL clubs could consider buying or partnering with Super League teams if the NRL takes control of the English competition.
The ARLC has tabled a $57m offer for a 50% stake in Super League, while several NRL clubs are already exploring what opportunities could emerge.
The Roosters have previously considered taking over Salford and rebranding them the “Manchester Roosters”, while Souths, Wests Tigers, Canberra and Melbourne have all expressed varying levels of interest in potential partnerships or investment.
Canberra CEO Don Furner said a partnership could include loaning players to England and bringing Super League juniors into the Raiders’ system.
