    CODE Sports' ultimate cross-code dossier is a celebration of pure, unadulterated talent.

    We have identified the young guns with the unique skill sets, vision, and athleticism to dominate rugby league, rugby union, or both.

    The pipeline from schoolboy rugby union to rugby league isn't a modern invention - it's one of Australian sport's richest traditions.

    Long before Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii made headlines crossing the divide, Ricky Stuart and Wally Lewis were both Australian Schoolboys in union. Both went off to be legends of rugby league, Lewis even became an Immortal.

    From Matt Rogers and Berrick Barnes to Cameron Murray, Rex Mossop and even Peter Jorgensen - father of Wallabies young gun Max - the practice of sharing generational talent is built into the DNA of both games.

    Moses Leota is Canberra's preferred target to strengthen its forward pack, according to journalist Phil Rothfield.

    Rothfield said on Triple M: "I think he's a big, big chance of going to Canberra with the Hudson Young money."

    "They're basically left with Joe Tapine and they're going to throw everything at Moses Leota. They think he is the sort of player that will give them that 'oomph'.

    "I think their first preference is Moses Leota. Joe Tapine needs help in the guts."

    Shock Walker twist as new team looms; halfback on brink of joining his SEVENTH club — NRL Free Agency LIVE

    NRL free agency is busy, with major signings like Nathan Cleary and rumors of Sam Walker's Roosters exit.

    Fox League

    The NRL's free agency period is heating up, with a number of big names closing in on new deals now that November 1 players are officially able to speak to rival clubs.

    This shapes to be the most chaotic and seismic free agency period in recent NRL memory, with Sam Walker's looming Roosters exit sparking a monumental transfer saga.

    Elsewhere, Nathan Cleary is set to sign a mammoth new deal with the Panthers while the likes of Jamal Fogarty and Tom Flegler could be on the move.

    Plus, the ramifications of Hudson Young's impending PNG move are already being felt as Canberra eye a new Test forward signing - while the Chiefs may have a halfback, of sorts. CODE Sports reports that former Bulldogs No.7 Sean O'Sullivan flew to Port Moresby on Monday to meet with the club and tour its facilities.

    O'Sullivan, 28, is headed to St Helens in the Super League next season but the well-regarded game manager could add playmaking depth for PNG's inaugural season in 2028. The Chiefs would be his seventh NRL club; prior to spending this season at the Dogs, O'Sullivan played at the Roosters, Broncos, Warriors, Panthers and Dolphins for a total of 66 first-grade games.
