    Tohu Harris has explained why the decision to retire from rugby league was taken out of his hands

    Tohu Harris has explained why the decision to retire from rugby league was taken out of his hands

    - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

    The 33-year-old sent shockwaves around the NRL last month when he hung up the boots due to a chronic wrist injury which plagued his campaign last year.
