The biggest surprise I got watching the Warriors verus Sharks match tonight, was not the result, (an upset win to the Sharks) it was the sight of Misi Taulapapa playing fullback for Cronulla.
If you recall, he was booted out of the Warriors in 2006 for repeated breaches of team discipline involving alcohol.
I think he ended up joining North Queensland, and was playing lower grades. I’ve no idea when, why or how he ended up joining the Sharks, but good luck to him.
He scored a try against the Warriors, and apart from fumbling the ball when the Warriors kicked off again, looked really good, with a few other nice touches.
I wonder if his issues with booze are behind him - I certainly hope so, because he is a good player who will carve out a respectable NRL career if he stays focused.
