T\ufeffhe Australian Rugby League Commission<\/a> is due to discuss salary cap exemptions for NRL<\/a> clubs signing players from rival codes at next month's board meeting.<\/p>\n

If actioned, the move is sure to be welcomed by the Sydney Roosters as they target \ufeffrising Wallabies star Mark Nawaqanitawase<\/a><\/p>\n

On Friday, it was revealed that Roosters coach Trent Robinson and \ufeffchairman Nick Politis will meet with Nawaqanitawase<\/a> this week to discuss a potential move to the NRL in 2025.<\/p>\n

The \ufeffsigning looms after several top league players were approached by Rugby Australia, their most notable acquisition being Joseph Suaalii as part of a bombshell code switch<\/a> in March.<\/p>\n

With Suaalii signed on a lucrative three-year deal worth $4.8 million, it is now understood that some of rugby's biggest stars are craving similar paychecks, including teenage sensation Max Jorgensen.<\/p>\n

Jorgensen turned down an offer to play for the Roosters, instead signing a two-year deal to remain with the Waratahs and Wallabies when his current contract expires at the end of next year.<\/p>\n

However, sources with knowledge of Jorgensen's contract situation told the Sydney Morning Herald<\/a> that the promising fullback could seek close to $1 million a year when brokering his next agreement.<\/p>\n

A deal to switch allegiances could be sweetened if the ARLC ratifies plans to provide NRL clubs with financial incentives to pursue the best talent in rival codes.<\/p>\n

In April, after Suaaii's code switch, \ufeffARLC chairman Peter V'landys encouraged clubs to counter-attack by targeting Wallabies and champions from other sports.<\/p>\n

"We have been looking at bringing in salary cap exemptions for players from other countries for some time," V'landys told the Sydney Morning Herald<\/a>.<\/p>\n

"It was about bringing in players from America and other nations. It would also apply to players from other sports. And, yes, other sports include rugby.<\/p>\n

"If a Wallaby or an All Black wanted to come over, we'd look at cap exemptions for sure.<\/p>\n

"We have been looking at this for quite a while, and it's a good time to revisit this. It's something I'd like to see come in and come in now."<\/p>\n

It is understood that V'landys and NRL chief executive Andrew Abdo debated giving clubs up to $1 million in salary cap relief to acquire international talent from other codes.<\/p>\n

The plan was to encourage NRL clubs to source young talent from rugby systems around the world, as well as NFL prospects in the US.<\/p>\n

Sources with knowledge of the situation told The Herald that there was growing pressure on the ARLC to draft a policy as early as next month.<\/p>\n

It is not known whether any new salary cap exemptions would apply to the Roosters and their potential acquisition of Nawaqanitawase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
