NRL clubs may reportedly consider poaching big names from overseas if the shortened NRL season gets underway before competitions from around the world restart.

The NRL campaign was suspended after two rounds because of Coronavirus but league bosses have announced their intention to resume action on May 28th.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports sacked Wallaby Israel Folau, former All Black Sonny Bill Williams and Quade Cooper would be prime candidates for an NRL poaching raid.

According to the Herald, at least one NRL club is preparing to gauge Folau's interests in returning to the competition where he made his professional debut as a teenager with the Melbourne Storm.

Quade Cooper, on the other hand, is training in Brisbane alongside Broncos star Tevita Pangai Jr with the former Wallabies World Cup star previously stating he would be open to playing in the NRL.
