R360 Competition Recruits Face Decade-Long Suspension from National Rugby League
The athlete gained 20 international appearances for the All Blacks before transferring allegiance to Samoa.
The NRL's governing body has declared that participants who join the “rebel” R360 will be barred for a decade.
The new league, scheduled to begin in late 2026, is aiming to attract athletes from both codes with lucrative deals and a reduced fixture list.
Leading rugby league players have allegedly been contacted by the new league, which will include multiple men's clubs and four women's teams based in key urban centers worldwide.
Representing Samoa the rugby star, who plays for the Warriors in the league, has said he has had talks with R360.
Papenhuyzen, Zac Lomax, Payne Haas and Gray are also said to be thinking about signing R360.
Eight major rugby union nations, among them Australia, last week announced a prohibition on players joining R360 playing test matches.
“We have consulted our franchises and we've acted decisively,” stated Australian Rugby League Commission chairman V'Landys.
“Regrettably, there will persistently exist entities that seek to pirate our code for monetary profit.
“They don't invest in talent pipelines or the advancement of talent. They only leverage the efforts of others, endangering athletes of economic hardship while profiting themselves.
“Essentially, they are, counterfeiting a code.”
The organization is co-founded by retired international Mike Tindall and backed by independent financiers.
After the potential rugby union prohibitions were declared earlier, it stated: “We seek to cooperate collaboratively as a component of the worldwide fixture list.
“The series is designed with tailored timetables for male and female sides and R360 will allow all athletes for international matches, as written into their contracts.”
The new league will seek approval for its proposals from World Rugby, the sport's governing body, at its board session next year.
