Fiji Bati and Bradford winger Semi Tadulala is set to leave Super League in a favour of a move to rugby union, according to Bulls chairman Peter Hood.

The 26 year old, Tadulala only moved to Odsal from Wakefield last year after a proposed move to Guinness Premiership side Gloucester broke down in 2007.

He went on to score 23 tries including five hat-tricks in 26 appearances for the club last year before going on to play at the World Cup in Australia.

But, despite finishing as Bradford's top try scorer in 2009, Tadulala now looks set for a move to the XV man game.

Hood said they would like Tadulala to stay but the amount of money they can pay him can't compare with what's available in rugby union and he expects him to take the offer.

The news will come as a blow for Bradford fans, particularly given the fact the club missed out on the playoffs this year.
