Roosters may reverse Spencer Leniu trade after grand final heroics
Spencer Leniu's explosive 25-minute grand final performance has convinced Sydney Roosters they may cancel his move to Parramatta.
Spencer Leniu was set to leave Sydney Roosters for Parramatta. He had a year left on his contract worth about $850,000 a year.
His performance in Sunday's grand final changed everything. In just 25 minutes, his aggressive play turned the match after Newcastle led 12-0.
Roosters coach Trent Robinson called it Leniu's best game ever. The two clubs have only an informal agreement so far.
Nothing is signed yet. Roosters will lose four key players next season to rugby union and other clubs.
This leaves salary cap room to potentially keep Leniu. The club may want to reconsider the deal.
They could move from an informal arrangement to a binding contract.
