Melbourne Storm, the outstanding NRL club with a history of uncovering outstanding New Zealand talent, is chasing an All Black Olympian.
The Storm, coached by the legendary Craig Bellamy, is in talks with giant sevens back William Warbrick as a wing recruit, according to The Australian.
It described the Storm
as being "on the verge of another stunning transtasman coup as they prepare to raid the New Zealand rugby sevens programme".
The 23-year-old Warbrick was in the All Black Sevens side that made the Olympic final in Tokyo this year where they were beaten by Fiji.
The 1.94m Warbrick, who was born in Kawerau, shapes as a replacement for the try scoring speedster Josh Addo-Carr, the NRL headline act who recently signed with the Canterbury Bulldogs.
