Nathan Cleary, star player for the Penrith Panthers, has received a lucrative offer to join the English Super League.
Hull FC is reportedly prepared to pay him one million pounds annually.
Having secured four NRL premierships with his current team and representing both State of Origin and Australia, Cleary's potential move would mark a significant moment in English rugby history.
"Literally, this is from Gary Schofield over in England, the ex-captain for England once upon a time," remarked Elias.
"He says that Nathan Cleary has been offered 1 million pounds a year for four years at Hull."
"That is big, big bucks, so the level is now set way up here."
Cleary has expressed his willingness to leave the NRL for the right opportunity, whether in rugby union or the Super League.
This offer from Hull emerges at a pivotal time for both Cleary and the team.
The English club recently parted ways with John Cartwright, who will continue in his role until year's end.
Additionally, Cleary's partner, soccer player Mary Fowler, resides in England, adding another layer to the speculation.
This situation has intensified speculation regarding Cleary's intentions to exit the NRL at the conclusion of his current contract, which pays him over a million dollars each season.
