Bukuya debuted in 2008(as a centre off the bench IIRC. I remember he jammed SBW) under Stuart and played 2 games then sat out 2 seasons with injury during imo the worst period of our club 2009/2010. Played 11 games in 2011 and became a regular in 2012. Went through the peptides dramas while he was getting paid over at the NZ warriors. Lasted a year and came home. Won a comp with us, re-signed and is about to re-sign again. Has played over 130 games for us.

I can't remember many bad games by Boogie and if there was one he likely had a blinder the week after. As a bench middle I'd put his impact up against any forward in the comp over the past 3 seasons. I struggle to think of a more consistent and underrated player for us who by all reports is a real leader off the field.

I love all boogies

Addition to the bakuya story.
Came to club as a skinny centre/winger.
Was in maybe 17/18, but came down form QLD, to play under 20s.
Wasn’t going so well and maybe struggling a bit with the size and speed step up.
Went back to SG ball for a game. Scored 4 tried and gave the other centre a bath. Never played in his own age group again .
