Jorge Taufua is one of the most experienced and respected players at the Sea Eagles.
A powerful runner of the ball who can make good metres, Taufua can also create fear in opposition players with his bone rattling tackling technique. He has scored 88 tries in 164 matches for the Sea Eagles.
Jorge will head into his 10th season with the Sea Eagles in 2022 after making his NRL debut for Manly in 2012.
One of the most feared defenders in the NRL, Jorge's 'monster hit' on Melbourne's Cameron Munster at Brookvale was named the NRL's 'Tackle of the Year' in 2019. The video went viral and was shown on major sports shows across USA.
Away from the game, Jorge has completed a Certificate IV in Community and Recreation.
