South Sydney outside back set for departure, new club

South Sydney Rabbitohs outside back Moala Graham-Taufa is on his way to England, with Hull KR set to lock in the young talent for the 2027 Super League season.

Graham-Taufa is understood to have agreed to join the club, with the move set to see him leave the Rabbitohs after one season under Wayne Bennett.

The move was revealed by Love Rugby League, with Graham-Taufa set to become the first signing made under new Hull KR coach Nathan Cayless.

Cayless will take over the club following Willie Peters' move to the PNG Chiefs, bringing extensive experience from both the NRL and international level.

The 24-year-old is a New Zealand junior who moved to Sydney to join the Sydney Roosters, making his NRL debut in 2021 in what remains his only appearance for the Tricolours.

He subsequently returned home and joined the New Zealand Warriors, making his first appearance for the club in 2024 before going on to feature in another three games across the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

Graham-Taufa then joined South Sydney ahead of the 2026 season, making two NRL appearances but spending the majority of the campaign in the NSW Cup.

The outside back has been a regular contributor for the Rabbitohs' reserve-grade side, playing 17 games this year and scoring nine tries while also registering four try assists.

However, with opportunities in the NRL limited, Graham-Taufa is now set to head to the Super League in search of more consistent first-grade football.
