Rhinos Chief Executive Gary Hetherington will head to Australia this week on a recruitment drive looking for a replacement for departing star Gareth Ellis. Hetherington will fly to Sydney on Monday for a week to meet with players and agents about the possibility of joining the world champions. Hetherington commented, "Whilst Brian McClennan is very happy with the current squad we do know that we will be losing Gareth Ellis for next season and we have some players who are out of contract. That means that we have some flexibility with our squad for 2009 and the purpose of this trip will be to identify who is available."
