Exclusive: NRL or rugby? TJ Perenara's career move revealed

All Blacks superstar TJ Perenara will not swap rugby for league and has decided to remain in New Zealand.

The Herald understands the 66-cap veteran has re-signed with New Zealand Rugby and the Hurricanes after weeks of speculation linking him with a move to an NRL heavyweight.

@tim John Kirwan will be so disappointed!

I don't really care on an ABs level, but Fook Mi the Canes need him.

James Marshall will be disappointed that his podcast doesn't have the exclusive now.

I wonder how many refs are having a massive sigh at the thought of Perenara barking at them for the next two years 😂

Does this mean TJ is available this week?

[Canes4life]

@machpants the Canes will go up a notch with him there now. It will really help Ruben Love’s development knowing he has TJ’s voice taking that pressure off.

@stargazer Isn’t Taumateine injured?

I assume Roigard was his replacement.

I think if any back gets injured then TJ would come in.

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 He was; don't know whether he still is.

[Bovidae]

In the NZ Club Rugby thread @Canes4life posted that Taumateine was going to play Wellington club rugby last weekend.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Oh, yes, I forgot about that. I even posted it myself in this thread.
