Peters emphasized that the player is committed to the club for the remainder of the 2025 Super League season.
This statement aims to put an end to the speculation surrounding Waerea-Hargreaves' future and assure fans of his loyalty to Hull Kingston Rovers.
The rumors about Waerea-Hargreaves' potential return to the NRL have been dismissed by Hull's coach, highlighting the player's dedication to the Super League club.
Despite being a coveted player with a successful history in the NRL, including representing New Zealand in international competitions, Waerea-Hargreaves is focused on his current team and honoring his contractual commitments.
While the Sydney Roosters may have had salary cap space available, the head coach's statement makes it clear that Waerea-Hargreaves is not planning to leave Hull Kingston Rovers prematurely.
Fans can expect to see the talented forward continue to contribute to his current club and play out the remainder of his contract, putting an end to the speculation surrounding his future.
