Star English halfback Lewis Dodd is set to snub interest from at least four NRL clubs to remain with his Super League club St Helens. Several Aussie clubs are desperate to snare 22-year-old Dodd, rated the best young playmaker in the Super League. Dodd has left the door ajar for a move Down Under but sources close to the classy No.7 say he is likely to sign a long-term deal to remain with St Helens. Dodd wrote himself into Saints folklore in the 2023 World Club Challenge, kicking the match-winning field goal in golden point against Penrith. He also played in the Saints' 2021 Super League grand final victory over Catalans Dragons while still a teenager. There is a shortage of halfbacks who can take the game by the throat in the NRL, thus the interest in Dodd, and his decision is a major blow to the clubs after his signature.
