The Canberra Raiders have reportedly joined the race for disgruntled North Queensland Cowboys second-rower Luciano Leilua.
The powerhouse forward, who is seemingly out of favour in Townsville with Heilum Luki, Kulikefu Finefuiaki and State of Origin player Jeremiah Nanai also competing for minutes in the club's back-rower, is understood to have requested a way out of the club and the final two years of his deal.
It is believed he had previously done so for the first time mid last year, with the Raiders showing some interest then too, although the request was blocked by coach Todd Payten.
