The 29-year-old is yet to decide whether he'll accept the offer but says if he re-signs with New Zealand Rugby, he'll probably never play professional league. Committing to New Zealand Rugby, to home and the [Wellington] Hurricanes will take league off the table for my career," Perenara said. Perenara said he has been doing homework on the hooker position in the 13-man code, talking to current players. We didn't talk about rugby league, just talked about the Hurricanes and obviously we're keen to get him home.
