Western Force are close to pulling off an audacious coup, bringing NRL try-scoring machine Curtis Rona home to Perth and back to his rugby union roots.
The Force and Australian Rugby Union have been secretly negotiating with the big Canterbury winger for some time and although his NRL contract does not end until 2017 it is understood he is keen to make the code switch.
Rona, 23, scored 23 tries in his first full NRL season with the Bulldogs last year.
He began his career in rugby union with Wanneroo Districts before switching codes and joining neighbouring Joondalup Giants.
