Joey Leilua admits he was below his best in 2020. But after dropping ten kilos and fixing his attitude, the Tigers powerhouse is ready to repay the faith.

Obviously tonight is all about the two club legends but Elijah Taylor deserves a lot of thanks for everything he’s done at the club
When he first joined us a few years ago he improved us massively. His defence and ball playing at lock often helped us win games and he was a key leader in our...

Next week we will have Musgrove, Twal and Jennings out, Luciano and McIntyre both likely you be out, Mbye possibly could be out, Leilua gonna be suspended.
Could be 7 of our top 17 all gone through injury or suspension. Gonna be a tough few weeks

Or he might let rip with a giant fist pump like he’s starting an invisible chainsaw to celebrate a try.
Or he might just let out a great, bellowing “WHOOOOO!” for no reason at all, other than making sure his...
