Lois Forsell says Leeds Rhinos will not stand in the way of their players wishing to move to Australia after confirming members of her squad are in talks with NRLW clubs. Following England's World Cup performance, clubs down under have highlighted several players across Women's Super League as potential recruits for the new campaign.
It's believed that players from other clubs, namely St Helens are York Valkyrie, have also attracted interest from clubs and are also considering moves to the Southern Hemisphere, leaving the Women's Super League at risk of losing a stack of their top stars.
Reports in Australia back in December claimed the likes of Fran Goldthorp had attracted interest, as well as other England teammates such as Leah Burke, Olivia Wood and Hollie Dodd. Goldthorp was a star performer for the Rhinos as they won last year's Grand Final, but head coach Forsell said the club would support any player wishing to pursue the move.
