Another notable NRL player has emerged as a target for the new rugby union competition, R360, which promises to revolutionize the sports landscape.
Star athletes such as Angus Crichton, Jye Gray, Kalyn Ponga, Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Ryan Papenhuyzen, and Zac Lomax have already been mentioned in connection with the Saudi-backed league.
Now, Cronulla Sharks' fullback William Kennedy has also drawn interest from R360. According to News Corp, officials from the league have expressed a willingness to discuss a potential transition with him.
This speculation arises as Kennedy has yet to finalize a new contract for the upcoming season, despite the Sharks offering him an extension to remain with the club for an additional year.

"There's a deal sitting on the table at the Sharks, and it's up to Will whether or not he wants to take it," stated David Riccio on the Code NRL podcast.
"The catch to that is unfortunately he's an off-contract fullback in a market where every club have locked up their fullbacks, so in the market, there's no movement."
