LEEDS CIRCLE MANLY STAR
According to UK publication League Weekly, Leeds have offered Manly backrower Joel Thompson a multi-year deal.
Thompson, an NRL fan favourite for his community work, is off-contract at the end of the season and has previously expressed a desire to play overseas.
“I’m always open to anything. Rugby league has given me everything so whatever comes I’ll be happy with that,” Thompson said earlier this month.
“We’ve spoken as a family, we’d like the life experience of going over to a different country and getting paid for it would be pretty special.
The Sea Eagles are reportedly keen to keep him on, but a long-term deal with the Rhinos may see him jet off.
