Leeds forward Ryan Bailey has been linked with a move to the NRL, with Brisbane Broncos a potential destination.

Bailey, 29, has won six Super League titles with the Rhinos since making his debut in 2002, and has been getting rave reviews Down Under from Australian team-mate Brett Delaney.

The Queensland Sunday Mail quotes Gavin Orr, brother of Bailey’s manager Chris, as saying: “Ryan has been in the Super League a long time, he’s ready to come to the NRL.

“At the moment, he has just got his head around the idea of leaving England. He is used to a certain lifestyle over there so if he’s happy with a package here he will make the move. There’s a number of clubs interested in him.”

Bailey has made 287 appearances for Leeds, scoring 17 tries.
