I played ok. Represented the town at amateur level other than that did ok. .. had reasonable pace was a decent defender but lacked size. Was tough but never dirty never sent off but sin binned loads especially at hooker where I was a particularly obnoxious gob poop played every position bar prop forward.

i played hooker for 10 years, represented the town for 4 of them and lancashire.... However i was very dirty. Knees into the tackle, late shots on the ground.. and my particular favorite, dropping the arm off the prop going into the scrum and using it to punch the opposition hooker after we had packed down... i never gobbed off though.. i just kept my mouth shut and got on with business... of course this style of play gets you a reputation over time and i was always a marked man... looked in the mirror one monday morning when i was about 20, with 2 black eyes and a lip with a few stitches in, and thought that my dashing good lucks might be effected if i carried on.. also my knee was shot to pieces and my shoulder had dislocated twice.. so walked away from the game... best decision i ever made.

There's a video on You Tube of his tries - great finisher - strong but only same height as Russell.He has got pace but again similar to Russell in that he would get caught in a clean break situation.He seems to have played most of his career on the wing but this season for Wests has played right centre.He has also played full back for Fiji.Highly rated by press and fans but there are real doubts about his defence according to Wests fans forum.

He's definitely a Tony Smith player.

Reasonable in all areas. Great in none.

Well here's my opinion.

I've never seen him play, ever.

But I can't bear the thought of starting the season with Atkins and Evans at centre.

So I hope to god that we do sign him, he can't be any worse.

Steady on now Rubber ... I can see you're beginning to enjoy your new freedom since you've been outed ... if you get what I mean. Keep the faith!

Wow i've just watch 3 highlight videos of him on Youtube and i don't know who said it but they're right, he's not that fast at all. Centres out pacing him second rowers catching up to him when he makes a break, and 99% of his tries are simply him him being out wide with nobody marking him and him running 10 metres in a straight line and falling over the line. We already have that in Tom Lineham, fingers crossed this is just a rumour and we actually sign Jorge Taufua a lot faster, a lot stronger and more explosive.

He's better than Henry Fa'afili, and that guy couldn't stop scoring.
