ABOUT TAI
Tai is an exceptional forward with a promising future in professional rugby league. Tai is an athletically built forward who possess a powerful fend and a strong running game to match. Tai has a good work ethic in training and on the playing field he gets through a lot of work up the mid field. He is a solid performer as a back rower however his preferred position is to play in the front row. Tai's kick off hit ups show great speed and power where he often bends the defence line and can make good line breaks. His strength to push through defenders is a key strength in his attack. As a back rower Tai has good footwork which we believe has helped him to get noticed by scouts and representative selectors. Tai is a good trainer and a good communicator. He is mature for his age and off the playing field is a well grounded young man. Tai is a Youth and Cultural Group Leader. He has a positive attitude and communicates well with people. Tai is interested in becoming a qualified carpenter and is a solid prospect. We believe with our support and management Tai has a good future ahead of him.
