South Sydney Rabbitohs<\/a> star Jye Gray<\/a> has reportedly turned his back on a rich offer from R360 to re-sign with the club.<\/p>\n

Gray was one of the first players linked to the new rebel Saudi Arabian-backed competition, where it was reported he could have earned as much as $900,000, with much of that tax-free.<\/p>\n

The star, who can play at fullback or five-eighth and sent Latrell Mitchell<\/a> to the centres at the back-end of 2025, is off-contract at the end of 2026 and was expected to be hot property on the open market if he hadn’t re-signed with the Rabbitohs by that date.<\/p>\n

The Sydney Morning Herald has now reported that Gray has decided to turn his back not only on rugby union, but also on other clubs and the November 1 free agency scramble.<\/p>\n

While he will receive an upgraded contract from the Rabbitohs, it won’t be able to match the nearly $900,000 he was reportedly set to earn from the 15-man game, or potentially what other clubs, including the Perth Bears<\/a>, who have 30 spots to fill and over $12 million to spend, could have offered.<\/p>\n

Remaining at South Sydney is understood to be a priority for Gray, though, with the club backing the talent as their future fullback.<\/p>\n

That was kicked off in 2025, and is likely to continue in 2026, with Latrell Mitchell<\/a>, despite his enormous price tag, set to remain in the centres.<\/p>\n

It’s understood Gray is yet to formally sign the contract extension – which is for an unknown number of years or dollars – with South Sydney yet, but that it likely will be ticked off within the next week or so.<\/p>\n

Gray has played 32 NRL<\/a> games, with 19 of those coming through 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Sydney Rabbitohs star Jye Gray has reportedly turned his back on a rich offer from R360 to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-252266","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nrl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-national-rugby-league","11":"tag-nationalrugbyleague","12":"tag-nrl","13":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252266","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252266"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252266\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252266"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252266"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252266"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
