Nelson Asofa-Solomona has turned his back on up to seven NRL clubs interested in his service, quitting the NRL to take up a full-time deal in boxing.
News.com.au can exclusively reveal the NRL’s biggest man has quit rugby league indefinitely to pursue his dream of becoming a heavyweight boxing champion.
The 115kg enforcer has also become the first off-contract player to shun the mega bucks of R360 and also the riches on offer in the English Super League.
The former Melbourne Storm forward has signed a full-time boxing deal and could earn up to $1m a year in his new sport.
Plans are already underway for a rugby league super fight with another high profile NRL behemoth.

Apparently he is
I have now seen one outlet reporting the case. Unless his deal, which was a two year deal, was 2026 development and 2027 top 30 which is common.
I think he got upgraded LB, I could be wrong though
He is now.
That is a very big concern because it tells us they have little faith in who is coming through or who they were able to chase unsuccessfully.
Averillo? 16 other teams didn't want him either.
Averillo is asking for big money, it's not his talent
I'd take Averillo in a heartbeat. Then we can put him at left centre and have Russell as depth winger/center.
Agree, and him wanting big money is not a surprise, hope we haven't missed because of price..... this is a game of monopoly at present, buy everything you want or need and only pass on the shit.....Averillo is not shit!
Worry about the cap maintenance after you have bought your "houses and motels"
The model is there, Gould essentially used this formula and then off loaded to balance the books, with a lot of leverage from their Sugar Daddy's as Hoe loves to call them.
PS This is a normal play in money market securities trading, I don't know about sports trading as I have no interest in US or European sport.
It's ugly but it's true.
This is the way
