Damien Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 So I stumbled across this today on Twitter and wondered what the story was. I must admit Id never heard of him but a quick google shows he has only just turned 31, was released from Leicester Tigers RU 2 months ago and played for Tonga RU 3 times just 2 years ago. Now he crops up playing for Millom in the NCL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he crops up playing for Millom in the NCL: His cousin already plays for Millom, so when Hosea was let go by Leicester, it was a natural choice for him to keep his hand in, albeit in another code of Rugby. He started strongly, and that try was a beauty, but the opposition managed to contain him a bit better as the match went on. Fatigue may also have played a part, as I don't know how active he's been since leaving Leicester.

Sports Prophet Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 From the title I thought some club had signed a former Japanese RU star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M j M Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Why do the RFL say "familiar face" as if anyone has ever heard of him? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StandOffHalf Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I had never heard of him and I kind of still follow RU. Nice try! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Rapid. Incidentally I assume you have to pay to watch Millom, in which case it’s a shame how many people are stood on the pavement watching over the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
