Determined to get back to the top, Hamlin-Uele overhauled his eating habits and upped his commitment to training in a bid to reboot his stagnant career.
His efforts have been duly rewarded, the front-rower featuring in consecutive NRL fixtures for the first time in the past two rounds.

Got a decent motor too
