Spencer Leniu revealed his future plans with a cryptic comment last month to Roosters teammate Naufahu Whyte when they were rooming together, with the pair sharing an emotional embrace as they lived out their promise to each other.
Sydney Roosters forward Naufahu Whyte has revealed how former teammate Spencer Leniu confirmed his departure following their 19-18 NRL Grand Final victory over the Newcastle Knights. Whyte explained that Leniu deflected questions prior to the decider by urging focus on winning the premiership ring. In the dressing room after the win, Leniu shook Whyte's hand and confirmed it was his last ride with the club.
The Parramatta Eels officially confirmed that Leniu signed a four-year deal after securing an early release from his Roosters contract. Whyte, who won the Jack Gibson Medal as the Roosters' best player in 2026, expressed full support for Leniu's decision while preparing for upcoming international fixtures against his club teammates.
