We have profiled some of the recent disastrous sojourns by NRL players into the inferior Super League.
1. Peta Hiku
Another victim of the consistent salary cap pressures at Penrith, Peta Hiku was released from his contract mid-season to join the Warrington Wolves until the end of the 2019 season.
Hiku had a bright start to his career in the North of England, scoring ten tries in his first eleven matches, but seeing as Hiku is now entering his second season with his hometown club the Warriors, that should indicate that his stay was fleeting.
After featuring in only eleven matches for the Wolves, Hiku (unlike some of the other players on this list) requested a release from his contract on compassionate grounds with two-years still remaining on his Wolves contract.
Despite parting ways earlier than expected, Hiku departed with the club's blessing. With CEO Karl Fitzpatrick saying that he did" fully respect him wanting to return home to be with his family... Maybe one day in the future we may see him pull on the Primrose and Blue again."
