Warriors playmaker Chanel Harris-Tavita is set to call time on his rugby league career – at least for now – at the end of the season.
Harris-Tavita, who’s currently out of action suffering a ruptured testicle in round seven, revealed on Tuesday he wants to take time away from the game at the end of the season, with reports suggesting he will look into travel and writing as a change of scenery.
