Brad Takairangi of the Kiwis runs at Akuila Uate of Fiji during the 2017 Rugby League World Cup. Hull KR won his signature after competition with the Huddersfield Giants and another Super League club. Coach Tony Smith said Takairangi was an important buy for the Robins. “He’s a very experienced player with a lot of versatility. Brad is able to play in the back-row, centres and stand-off. His versatility and experience will be enormous for us and will add to our strength in depth in a number of positions. Should we need him to fill in any of those positions he will be more than comfortable and proficient,” said Smith.
