Vainikolo is quitting Bradford for Guinness Premiership outfit Gloucester - and Sinfield revealed he may also try his hand in the 15-man code.

The 26-year-old loose forward said: "I don't want to leave Leeds but if the timing is right and things don't work out here then it could be an option for me."

He added: "I've received offers in the past and it is humbling because it's a different sport and it shows clubs are willing to take a chance on you.

"I've got a year left on my contract here at Leeds and I'm very happy.

"But who knows, if the opportunity arises in the future, and the time is right, then you never know."

Switching from league to union is undoubtedly a daunting task and while some have succeeded, others have failed.

But Sinfield says he could see himself slotting comfortably into union at centre, before settling at fly-half.

"I'd probably play in the centres and then look to move to No 10 after a couple of years," he said.

"It's a real difficult position to play as Iestyn Harris would testify but we'll have to see what happens."
