New Zealand international forward Sam Rapira is hoping to embark on a career in Super League after announcing he is to leave the Warriors at the end of the season.
The Hamilton-born prop, who was a member of the Kiwis' 2008 World Cup-winning team, told his team-mates he has decided to make his 10th season in the NRL his last.

in need of a prop, would/should we go in for him? |

Just read hetherington has just returned from Oz. So that rapira to leeds for sure I'd say.
Paea would have signed or be close to signing soon if he's gonna stay. He could get a gig in oz never mind in SL.

Paea is a must, I'd rather sign Whitehead and move Ellis up to prop. So if we are in SL ( which I think we will be, even in the middle 8's) and we sign Taylor, our props would be
Taylor
Ellis
Watts
Paea
A centre (or two) is a massive priority.

I agree with moving Ellis to prop. Him and Minichiello are both very good players but they aren't the type who will bust the line or create things too often. The top teams tend to have at least one more dynamic backrow who is important to the attack. Ellis runs strongly and tackles hard, but when was the last time you saw a real good piece of skill from him.
Ellis to prop and a second row in the mould of Whitehead would be ideal. The other option would be to sign two good centres (or maybe just one if Logan can step up) and use Sa in the backrow (if he ever strings two games together). |

Just seen Saints are been linked with SKD, will should be going all out to sign him if he wants to come to SL, use our Roosters connections to help us.

Not sure if Sa will be with us next season.
In a recent interview on HFC live Radford seemed peed off with Sa bigtime regarding his injuries.
I agree two centres a priority for next season.
Think we should look for a loan deal now if anyone decent is available
Pity we don't have Ben Crooks now.Playing with Mini would have given him more confidence.We certainly need some flair and pace at centre as it looks like Yeaman cant do anything wrong in Radfords eyes yet has poor really poor last three games. |

Am I right in thinking that we have first refusal to sign Crooks if and when he returns from the NRL? I'm sure I heard that in a Pearson interview or something.
I wonder if he could be tempted to come back next year if he hasn't broken through and Radford is gone? |
