Israel Folau’s management approaches Wests Tigers with a bid for him to return to the NRL, according to multiple reports. The 37-year-old, who has been outside the league, is seeking a return to top-level rugby league and discussions were reportedly directed to Benji Marshall’s club. However, Wests Tigers decline the chance to take him on, ending the proposed move.
The accounts agree that the initial contact comes from Folau’s management rather than the club, and that the Tigers’ decision is communicated through their coach, Benji Marshall. The reporting does not provide additional details on the terms of the proposal, the timing of any potential signing, or whether other clubs are being approached. It also does not indicate any further steps after the Tigers’ refusal.
Overall, the story centers on a specific contact between Folau’s representatives and Wests Tigers and the club’s subsequent decision not to pursue the player’s return to the NRL.
