RABBITOHS hooker Issac Luke will make a stunning move to the Warriors, signing a three-year deal in a massive coup for the New Zealand club.
Luke asked to be released to New Zealand for family reasons and the Warriors on Friday announced the signing of the Kiwi Test No.9.
South Sydney did not stand in Luke’s way, given his service to the Rabbitohs since joining from the Bulldogs in 2007.
“I’ve been away from home for a long time now and I really miss it,” Luke said in a statement.
“I’ve loved playing for the Rabbitohs. They’ve done so much for me but I wanted to go back to New Zealand at some stage and I’m grateful they’ve allowed me to go.
“Going home to play for the Warriors has always been something I wanted to do. I know so many of the boys there and I also like what’s happening at the club since Jim has taken over.”
Luke’s signing gives the Warriors three players out of the four that make up the New Zealand Test spine, with the hooker to slot in alongside halfback Shaun Johnson and fellow new recruit Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
“His arrival at the club will provide a massive lift to our side,” Warriors coach Andrew McFadden said.
“With the game getting faster and the prospect of the number of interchanges being reduced, 80-minute hookers have become a real asset. Issac is an exceptional dummy half and he underlined that for the Kiwis in the Anzac Test against the Kangaroos. He was outstanding.
“It’s hugely exciting for us knowing Issac and Roger (Tuivasa-Sheck) will on board next year.”

I reckon he will end up in Union, I believe some big offers are on his Manager's table from France.
:smiley: that's a good one Hobbo. i'm meeting a mate (Souths-man) for a pub lunch in an hour. He'll be expecting me to bring up Issac Luke. I think i'll use your tactic and chuck in an B.S Inglis rumor first to get him really freaking. As i've now just read it on the web.. :laughing:
Wow, it's offical.
Huge signing for NZ.
Surely Friend & TL are off to SuperLeague.
Massive loss for them.(Rabbits)
