We have seen clubs like Leeds Rhinos, Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves and Hull KR announce big signings for the 2024 season whilst the likes of Leigh Leopards, Hull FC and Huddersfield Giants continue to be linked with major recruits for the 2024 season as well.
However, transfer business like this is a two way street and that is certainly the case for Super League clubs.
You see Super League clubs look to the NRL for stars who can give their squad that extra boost of quality but they also stand to lose their star players to the NRL.
We have seen Hull KR draft in Peta Hiku and Oliver Gildart from the NRL, we have seen Warrington Wolves beat off interest from four other clubs to sign Newcastle Knights star Lachlan Fitzgibbon, Wigan Warriors are bringing Kruise Leeming back to Super League and now Leeds Rhinos are linked with Danny Levi.
But we have also seen Aidan Sezer linked with Wests Tigers along with Salford Red Devils star Brodie Croft.
Jake Clifford has already been lost to North Queensland Cowboys in 2024 and there are NRL clubs knocking on the door for Lachlan Lam at Leigh Leopards.
However he isn’t the only star at the Leigh Sports Village attracting interest from NRL clubs.
We have seen St George Illawarra Dragons come knocking for Edwin Ipape at hooker and now another star at Leigh is attracting interest from down under and that is skipper John Asiata.
The loose-forward has been an exceptional signing since joining the club last year and has gone on to skipper the side.
He could even lead them to silverware they way things are currently going at the club which is truly amazing given he was playing in the Championship a year ago with the then Leigh Centurions.
According to the notorious Mole down under Asiata has attracted offers from three NRL clubs in recent weeks.
“There is one club in Queensland and two in New South Wales that are interested in John,” his manager Pierre Tannous told Wide World of Sports.
“His form in England has been very good but he feels it is time to come home.”
