The Canberra Raiders are poised to add Samoa hooker Danny Levi to their squad after he was released from his Huddersfield contract to return to Australia with his young family.
Canberra have offered Levi a chance to revive his NRL in the capital and a two-year deal could be finalised by early next week.
Zac Woolford and Tom Starling shared the role this year after Josh Hodgson ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in the opening game of the season.
