The Sydney Morning Herald reports that as part of the All Blacks midfielder's $10 million deal with Super League side the Toronto Wolfpack, he'll get a share of the club and a starring role in a Netflix series about the team.

There's also speculation they've turned their recruiting attention to NFL hopeful Valentine Holmes and England rugby internationals Manu Tuilagi and Ben Te'o.

Toronto CEO Bob Hunter is expected to ask for the competition's salary cap to be altered as a result.
