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.

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.

Time for Jordie to move into twelve?

[Canes4life]

@labcat not sure as Jordie has already said his favourite position is 15. I’d imagine Umaga-Jensen will shift in to 12 and develop a combination with Proctor at 13 goi forward.

[Crucial]

Not at all unexpected and I really feel it's a good move for him.
Very good player and will fit into a European team campaign well and make a few bucks.
Was never going to own the AB 12 jersey given his limitations and the way they play.

You really do still dream, don't you?

Your coaches will probably move JGB out one instead.

Might as well do it now.

Laumape has been inconsistent, use him off the bench in SR TT

[Canes4life]

@crucial I’d prefer a Jordie & Umaga-Jensen pairing but the obvious combo would be Umaga-Jensen-Proctor considering they kept swapping out for one another during SRA
