National Rugby League side New Zealand Warriors have captured two upcoming stars from Super League champions Leeds Rhinos.
After witnessing the success of Adrian Morley, Gareth Ellis and Sam Burgess who have all made the switch from Super League to NRL in recent years, Warriors pathways coach Stacey Jones is relishing the prospect of working with the Yorkshire-men. "They're two young boys with big reputations and I'm sure they're going to make a real difference to our squad," he said. "We're committed to developing New Zealand players but we're also keen to have the best players in our system wherever they come from. "Like Dean, I've seen firsthand what sort of talent there is in England. It's going to be of real benefit to us having strong relationships in the United Kingdom."
