NRL halfback Chad Townsend is being shopped around to Super League clubs according to the Daily Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield.
This comes as the Cowboys are set to move for Leeds Rhinos target Luke Brooks.
“I think it was a statement recruitment decision that they’re never going to overpay a footballer again and they won’t budge off $550,000 for Brooks and I applaud them for that,” Rothfield said on NRL 360.
“The mail I have is that Luke Brooks is very likely to finish up at the North Queensland Cowboys, he played Holden Cup in a premiership winning side with Todd Payten a while back, they’re very, very tight.
“There’s a lot of mail now that Chad Townsend is being shopped around to English Super League clubs and a couple of NRL clubs in Sydney as well.”
With Leeds set to miss out on Brooks, could they move for Townsend.
The halfback was part of the Cronulla side who finally won the Grand Final in 2016.
He helped the Cowboys to a strong season in 2022 but they are struggling in 2023.
Thus, a move to Super League for 32-year-old is really on the cards.
Wigan Warriors could also be a smart signing with Cade Cust out of contract.
