"I think there's going to be an answer pretty soon," Weidler told Nine's 100% Footy<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

"He's meeting his manager, I think it's this week, to work out whether he's going to play rugby league. And if he does it will be the Roosters or he'll stick with rugby union.<\/p>\n

"So he's got a big decision to make and I think decision time could come as early as this week."<\/p>\n

"I obviously love the game," Jorgensen said last month.<\/p>\n

"I want to make my mark here, play for the Wallabies and obviously British and Irish Lions comes around every 12 years.
