Nathan Cleary linked to reported $9 million Tigers bid involving Mary Fowler

The Wests Tigers have reportedly made an eye-catching $9 million proposal in an effort to secure Nathan Cleary, with the reported offer tied to a possible move for his partner, footballer Mary Fowler, to the A-League Women. The suggested arrangement would bring two high-profile sporting names into the same club picture, although the report describes it as a bid rather than a completed deal. It does not say Cleary or Fowler has accepted the proposal, nor does it outline any agreement between them and the Tigers. The reported figure is striking, but the pitch appears to be about more than one player. Cleary is the target of the NRL component, while Fowler’s possible switch to the women’s football competition is presented as part of the package. The report offers no further detail about the length or terms of a contract, or which club Fowler might leave. For now, the $9 million approach remains a reported attempt to attract the pair, rather than confirmation of a move. No response from Cleary or Fowler is included in the available report, leaving the proposal’s prospects unclear.
