R360 Officials Delay Rebel League for Two Years

Breakaway rugby competition R360 has postponed its launch to 2028, delaying its plans to recruit NRL stars like Zac Lomax and Ryan Papenhuyzen. This decision, influenced by opposition from rugby union boards threatening to ban players from national duties, alleviates concerns for the NRL about losing more players. R360’s boss, Mike Tindall, stated that the delay is strategic to ensure quality and long-term impact. Lomax and Papenhuyzen are now free to return to the NRL, along with other targeted players like Payne Haas.
