Where are they now?

Twelve months ago we had a huge crashball centre from Fiji. Irrespective of what you thought about his defensive capabilities Seru Rabeni was an absolute handfull when he had the ball in hand. Although he was very much a one-trick pony Seru's trick was to smash into the opposition defence and break tackles. He was also adept at offloading which made him a handy weapon to have.

At the end of last season Seru wanted to stay at Leeds. Sadly the club was not forthcoming with a contract so Seru's agent got him one at Stade Rochelais, newly promoted to the French top tier.
He signed for the French club and then Leeds realised what an asset he was and tried to get him out of his French contractual obligations - to no avail. Stade are currently 13th in the French league & show every sign of going back down.

If Seru came back to Leeds it could be said that he was yo-yoing between yo-yo clubs!
