The Warriors are confident of convincing Cronulla prop Toby Rudolf to move across the Tasman and honour an agreement to join the New Zealand-based club next season.

Rudolf is understood to have agreed to a three-year deal with the Warriors while the Telstra Premiership was suspended but he now wants out on compassionate grounds due to a family health issue.

However, the Warriors are standing firm on the deal in the belief a resolution can be found to enable him to make the switch.

It is believed Cronulla officials were taken by surprise when they learned of the deal.

Sharks coach John Morris said his intention was to hang onto him.
