Vainikolo admits union interest
Bradford's Lesley Vainikolo

Bradford wing Lesley Vainikolo says he would be interested in switching codes at some point in the future.

However, Vainikolo, who rejected the chance to move to Gloucester two years ago, says he is committed to Bradford until at least 2009.

"I can understand why league players might want to give it up for union," he told the Times newspaper.

"I'm not saying rugby union is easier but anyone looking career-wise knows there's something different about it."

Vainikolo says that one of the main reasons for his interest in union is the prospect of taking on a new challenge.

"There's a new culture and, when you've won everything there is in league, there would be a fresh hunger," he said.

"It's true league can't compete with some of the money being put around in union.

"For me, union would be nice further down the line somewhere, but I'm under contract here and we've had a great start with the Bulls."
