England World Cup star eyes shock NRL switch

England World Cup forward Joe Batchelor is the latest Super League player to attract the attention of NRL clubs. The St Helens back-rower is a late bloomer at 28, making his international debut in the recent World Cup. Sources have told Wide World of Sports that Batchelor has employed an Australian agent and is keen to give the NRL a go in 2024 and beyond. Batchelor starred for St Helens in their 2022 Super League Grand Final victory over Leeds and it was his efforts in the finals that saw him elevated for his World Cup debut. He comes off contract at the end of the upcoming season… and NRL clubs will be watching.
