All Blacks star Jordie Barrett has revealed he might consider one day switching codes to join the NRL.
Barrett, 24, is considered one of the best backs in international rugby union and would feasibly be able to switch codes with ease due to his unique skillset.
Speaking on the What A Lad podcast, Barrett says the idea of moving to Australia to play league often crosses his mind in the off-season.
"To be honest, every off-season or every time I'm sitting there watching a rugby league game, I think … I'd love to go over there and play some league just for a season," Barrett said.
"And who knows, I might. It crosses my mind a lot."
Barrett plays at both fullback and utility back for the Hurricanes and national side believes he could slot into a playmaking role to utilise his kicking ability.
“I'm not sure what position I'd play, but I'd love to go over there and give it a crack, who knows,” Barrett said.
“I wouldn't be able to tie his (Tom Trbojevic's) shoelaces, but maybe five-eighth. I wouldn't mind kicking the skin a few times on fourth and fifth tackle, or putting up some floater bombs.
“Defending in the front line too, you're allowed to be a grub in that game, so I'd love it.”
Since Barrett’s comments, Channel Nine’s The Mole is reporting that the Warriors are considering making a play for the union star.
Barrett has played 36 games for the All Blacks and looms as a big part of their future plans.
