The Rabbitohs have a major battle on their hands to keep Jye Gray amid reports the rebel rugby union competition R360 have offered the livewire fullback $2.4 million. <\/p>\n

The R360 offer is double what Gray is currently on at South Sydney. The 21-year-old is one of several NRL stars the breakaway league have in their sights with Eels star Zac Lomax and Storm fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen also on their radar.<\/p>\n

It was reported this week that the R360 competition has been given the green light to kick off its inaugural season in October next year.<\/p>\n

According toCode Sports<\/a>, R360 have offered Gray a three-year deal worth $800,000 a season.<\/p>\n

Gray is under contract with Souths until the end of next season. It\u2019s unclear if R360\u2019s offer is from 2026 or 2027.<\/p>\n

The NRL have already warned players and agents that there will be \u201cconsequences\u201d<\/a> for those who attempt to break their current NRL contracts to join the rebel league.<\/p>\n

Gray was a huge asset for Souths this year, even keeping Latrell Mitchell out of the No. 1 jersey at times over the course of the season.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it\u2019s no surprise the Rabbitohs are keen to hold on to the exciting fullback, with CEO Blake Solly calling a R360 switch a \u201cleap into the unknown\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis development on and off the field over the last two seasons has been exceptional,\u201d Solly told Code Sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would love him to stay at the club long-term and continue that development to make a big contribution to our success.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we also understand that if the salaries being discussed in R360 are true, Jye faces a difficult decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately we have minimal information on R360, and some of the rumours are hard to believe.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, the concept of the salaries being \u2018tax-free\u2019 is very speculative and there seems to be a lot of uncertainty around the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Rabbitohs have a major battle on their hands to keep Jye Gray amid reports the rebel rugby…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57761,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[32730,85,2652,48170,48169,48171,2647,9499,48164,48163,48167,48162,2648,111,139,69,2659,48160,48166,48165,48161,213,39977,48168],"class_list":["post-57760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-adam-reynolds","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-blake-solly","tag-day-coverage","tag-expert-analysis","tag-fox-league","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-gosford","tag-jye-gray","tag-latrell-mitchell","tag-livewire-fullback","tag-new-south-wales","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-oceania","tag-rebel-rugby","tag-recruitment-blunder","tag-rugby-union-competition","tag-scott-gardiner","tag-sports","tag-three-year-deal-worth","tag-zac-lomax"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
