R360 to Confirm Initial Signings Soon
Rebel rugby union competition R360 is expected to announce its first ten signings during the first week of November.
Recently, the league has been associated with several NRL players as it prepares for its inaugural season slated for late 2026.
A player draft is anticipated to occur in the early months of 2026, while the competition's inaugural season is set to commence in October.
Prospective players interested in securing contracts will need to complete medical tests by December.
News Corp has reported that after considerable speculation, the initial ten players will be revealed next week. However, it remains uncertain whether any of the rumored NRL players will be included in this first announcement.
It is reported that Roger Tuivasa-Sheck has already pledged his commitment to the league, with several other players-such as Zac Lomax, Ryan Papenhuyzen, Jye Gray, Cameron Munster, Payne Haas, Nathan Cleary, and Kalyn Ponga-also under consideration.
Additionally, Mark Nawaqanitawase, who plans to return to rugby union for the World Cup in 2027, has also been mentioned as a potential signing.
