ACT Brumbies star Grace Kemp is weighing up her future after the Canberra Raiders launched a bold poaching bid for rugby union's top players.
The Raiders have approached the Wallaroos forward with an offer for the upcoming NRLW season as they continue to build a squad for their inaugural campaign.
Coach Darrin Borthwick has already announced the signing of the likes of Simaima Taufa, Zahara Temara and Mackenzie Wiki for the competition to start against the Sharks on July 23.
An NRL document has revealed the average salary of a top-five centre in the NRL was $615,000 in 2022, strengthening South Sydney’s case to have Jack Wighton’s contract rubber-stamped by head office.
The Rabbitohs lodged Wighton’s contract to the NRL last Wednesday and are awaiting final approval on the four-year deal worth an average $800,000 per season.

The Raiders are privately fuming that the Rabbitohs have secured a deal with the Bunnies on about $250,000 per season...
It was more than just sticking up for a teammate. Jamal Fogarty wanted to send a message to his kids - and everyone else - that racism is not OK.
The Canberra Raiders halfback was quick to stand up for his halves partner Jack Wighton, who was racially abused on social media last week.
As a proud Mununjali man, he took exception to the disgusting comments.
