From 2024

The Sydney Roosters are poised to swoop on one of Super League’s fastest men to come and try his luck in the NRL.
With a stack of NRL clubs fighting over fellow Englishman Dominic Young to try and drag the giant winger away from Newcastle, the Roosters have quietly agreed to terms with young try scoring sensation Lewis Murphy from Wakefield.
The deal is yet to be signed off on but Murphy is expected to take up a two-year offer from 2024.
The 20-year-old has rapidly made a name for himself in the UK where he scored 19 tries in 21 matches in his debut season.
While’s he’s not overly big Murphy’s highlights package certainly packs a punch.
He not only boasts express speed that ranks him up with the Super League’s fastest players, but his phenomenal sideline acrobatic skills would make Sione Katoa proud
Former NRL playmaker Mason Lino last year labelled Murphy “a superstar of the future” after the young gun exploded onto the Super League stage.
The Roosters have this season recruited Jaxson Paulo and Corey Allan to duke it out for Joseph Suaali’i’s wing position, with Suaali’i tipped to move into the centres.
Former Queensland Origin player Allan is out to re-establish himself after signing a one-year deal following his forgettable stint at the Bulldogs, while Paulo has committed to two seasons.
While it’s always a bit of a gamble signing players from outside the NRL, the Roosters seem confident Murphy has the dedication to adapt.
