The NRL has hinted it was considering offering financial leeway to clubs seeking to bring Wallabies and Super Rugby talent to the game,but as it stands,Vunivalu is not someone who will entertain the notion any time soon.
A two-time premiership winner in the purple jersey,the 28-year-old now has his sights set on cementing a place on the Wallabies flank for the long haul – a task made easier by the defection of Mark Nawaqanitawase to the Sydney Roosters.
Signed with the Reds until the end of 2025 – keeping him inked with Rugby Australia until the British and Irish Lions tour – Vunivalu said beyond that,he harboured ambitions to travel the globe and redeem the nation’s recent World Cup failure.

“I don’t know my future,I’m not going to close any doors to anything,but I feel like I’ve achieved what I needed to achieve in league,” Vunivalu told this masthead.
“There are some personal achievements that I want … in union – the British and Irish Lions next year,and I want to travel the world as well.
“Who knows? I just don’t know what my future holds,but there’s other stuff I’m looking forward to,and being a regular with the Wallabies.”
