NRL star Solomone Kata tipped for code switch to union

He may have just switched clubs within rugby league, but NRL star Solomone Kata is expected to soon be playing rugby union.

[Snowy]

@Tim It would be cruel to suggest that he was going to the Magpies and Chiefs right?

[Steven Harris]

@Tim needs to sharpen up on his defence if he is to make a code shift.

[Gunner]

Rugby involves passing the ball, so he’ll be a flop.

[KiwiMurph]

wasn't sure where to put this.

Waratahs to convert 6'3, 112kg NRL star Moeroa into a centre

Parramatta Eels second-rower Tepai Moeroa has set his sights on winning back the Bledisloe Cup for Australia after he switches codes to rugby union next season.

[Steven Harris]

@Tim another league head confusing ability with ambition ..!

[Bovidae]

Do NSW have a new coach yet? If not, who is making these signings?

[African Monkey]

@Steven-Harris He played for Aussie Schoolboys and the Chiefs and Waratahs made a play for him in 2013/2014 before he decided to sign for Parramatta.
