Max Jorgensen has revealed he didn’t speak with Roosters coach Trent Robinson about a switch to the NRL, nor even explore options outside Australian rugby, after his “special” new five-year contract with Rugby Australia and the Waratahs was confirmed on Friday. As revealed by this masthead on Wednesday, RA announced Jorgensen will stay in rugby until 2031 on a multi-million deal, which will also allow him to pursue sabbatical seasons overseas in 2028 and 2030. After being pursued by the Roosters twice before, the NRL club was interested in the 21-year-old Wallabies star but Jorgensen said his heart remained in rugby, and he instructed his agent Clinton Schifcofske to get a deal done for him to stay with the Wallabies and Waratahs. When RA offered a rare five-year deal, which will cover the next two Rugby World Cups, Jorgensen said he was chuffed and happy to extend his contract that far.
