Sunia Turuva (Tito)

Is he the new “black flash” hahaha

Thought Turuva was the best outside back in the grand final. Very interested to see where we play him next year, would be either left wing or right centre as a guess

It would b especially beneficial for us if he could excell in the centres

Turuva: Api was a big drawcard

Sunia Turuva speaks to the media for the first time as a Wests Tigers at the pre-season Members Only training event at the Zurich Centre.

So you think Turuva out played both Alamoti and Tago in the GF. Did you actually watch it, those two were monsters.

To'o would have made 300m+ if he didn't go off as well

I don't recall Turuva ever playing centre for an extended period of time. Maybe he filled in during a game (because of injury).
He generally plays either wing or fullback.

I don’t think he will take the FB role, unless Bula is injured at this stage.
He’s got the speed we have desperately needed, so I reckon he’ll fit in there. He said as much, as well.

He's better than Bula but Wests need to fit both in

Your entitled to your opinion, but the FB role, at this stage is Bula's to lose.
Agree, they do need both in the team.
As I said, I believe we need his (Tito's) speed out wide.

Yeah I haven’t seen him either. It was reported when we signed him that he wanted the play centre, personally I don’t think he had the attributes for it and would prefer him on the wing, however our centre stock’s are so poor that they may start him there

He might be, however we’d need to see him get an extended run in first grade there to judge. I remember him playing the end of this game at fullback and setting this try up


I think we’d just signed him that week cause I remember thinking ‘I’ve seen Bula pass like that.’
