Inoke comes from Manly, very solid runner of the ball and can hit hard in defence

Looks like he was in the Sea Eagles NYC in 2008.

Anyone know more about this kid?

130kg gez i hope he can run the ball without dropping it

Here is a couple of pics I found of him playing for Manly in NYC in 2008 - He played 22 games and scored 2 tries for them in that year.

Trying to find some more pics of him playing Sharks NYC in 2009.

Where's SAG when you need them???

 

[IronShark]

130kg's!!?? And he's how old? Man, I hope he can play!:borat

 

[Rapture_Shark]

i know its good to be big(im a front rower myself) but i think he should put it back 115-120...130 is just too much, itll help the fitness aswell

 

[Mark^Bastard]

Looks like he's in a similar vein to Vave, maybe we could end up having Dougie and Snowden then these two big islander boys coming on at the back end of each half tearing it up.

I'm mates with Inoke and he is only 105kg not 130kg haha

If you're mates with him... can you fill us in with a bit of a background on him and maybe some pics?

 

[Mark^Bastard]

I was thinking he didn't look 130kg in those pics haha.

 

[peachey]

slight chance my first tweet will be mention about the size of units these days..

he played in the pacific cup last year for tonga..
played with manly up until toyota cup and then came to sharks last year

 

[Lumpy]

Could be good for us. Sounds like he needs to get his fitness up to NRL standard.
