Farewell Joseph Ikenasio Poiva Leilua Kelemete.
BJ at his best was pure destruction. Don't ever forget the last-round match Tigers had to win at LO to qualify, and Leilua and Rapana had an absolute field day.
Debuted at 19, yoyo-ed between being a liability and a wrecking ball. But he didn't play for 4 different clubs for no reason - nobody could get the best out of him for the duration of a contract. Only ever saw out 1 contract - his first 2.5 years at Raiders.
I reckon the word "enigma" applies to BJ as much as any footballer to have graced the NRL.
