You'd have to say this Rugby 360 thing is starting to get real....
Ryan Papenhuyzen had played his last game for the Melbourne Storm after being granted an immediate release to consider his future.
Papenhuyzen, who has been widely linked with rebel Rugby in a competition R360, has been a fixture at the Storm during a highly successful period for the club.
He had one year remaining on his deal with an option for a further season, but has opted to become the second Storm player to depart in two days, following Jonah Pezet signing with Parramatta for next year before he is due to join the Brisbane Broncos on a long-term deal.

The wording he used left a loophole ready to be used if they want to return to the Roosters, Souths or Broncos. Something along the lines of look at each case on its merits
Yes - you are correct. It's at the whim of the NRL, and those clubs would be lobbying hard if any real big name wants to return after going to R360.
Sounds like Storm also after young cowboys player Purdue.
I'm sensing some Gus Gould magic here. If Gould now comes out and says he's never met Ryan then we'll know what's actually happening.
Paps was in belmore last week. The dogs nearly got him before he stayed one more year in melbourne.
