[QUOTE="melon, post: 130920"] It was reported today in [i]The Daily Telegraph[/i] that Piri Weepu will seek a release from his current Super 14 contract to pursue a career in Rugby League. This comes about from Weepu missing out on the All Blacks RWC 30 man squad. Apparently Weepu trained with the NRL team Newcastle Knights back in January and enjoyed tasting the 13 man code again after playing it as junior. Also, he has frequently let it be known that he posesses a desire to emulate his brother Billy who had a stint with the Manly Sea Eagles. However it is being said that the NRZU/Super 14 team won't grant him a release because of all the players that are departing at the conclusion of the RWC. What do you guys think? Should they release him? Do you think Piri would excel at Rugby League? #9, #7, #6? [/QUOTE]
