Wests Tigers CEO Shakes Up Super League Transfer Market
In recent weeks, Wests Tigers Chief Executive Shane Flanagan has been making waves in the Super League transfer circles. The Tigers’ top executive recently flew to the UK with a mandate to offload some of the club’s biggest names, throwing the transfer market into disarray.
Now, reports suggest Flanagan has set his sights on Mikey Lewis, the standout Half-Back for Hull KR. The Wests Tigers boss has reportedly been actively pursuing deals to send several of the team’s top players to Super League clubs, with John Bateman, Jayden Sullivan, and Brent Naden leading the list of potential departures.
“Flanagan appears determined to bolster the Wests Tigers roster further by targeting some of Super League’s top talent during his time in the UK.”
Despite the impending arrival of Penrith Panthers superstar Jarome Luai on a lucrative 5-year, $6 million contract, Flanagan appears determined to bolster the Wests Tigers roster further by targeting some of Super League’s top talent during his time in the UK.
According to respected pundit Eddie Hemmings, Flanagan has been speaking highly of England international Mikey Lewis, with the NRL chief hailing him as “the best No. 7 in the Super League.” This has fueled speculation that Lewis could be on the radar of NRL clubs, including the Wests Tigers.
As Hull KR prepare to host the Huddersfield Giants at Craven Park tonight, Lewis will be hoping to maintain his strong form and push for a spot in Shaun Wane’s England squad for the upcoming England-Samoa test series.
