South Sydney halfback, Lachlan Ilias has been granted permission to explore his options at rival NRL clubs as he prepares to leave the Rabbitohs.
According to The Australian, Ilias’ manager, Braith Anasta formally applied for permission to negotiate with rival clubs on Monday morning in the wake of revelations that St Helens playmaker, Lewis Dodd would join the Rabbitohs next year.
Reluctant to leave the Rabbitohs, but knowing it might be best for his future, Ilias is officially on the open market for NRL signings with 12 months left on his contract with Souths.
Ilias will now appear on the Sydney Roosters’ radar as he recovers from a broken leg, looking to secure a new home in the NRL for next season.
