Mavoni Tuifua is a big, ball-playing 20-year-old in the Junior Paulo mould.

The youngster will go straight into the Bulldogs' full-time squad for next season and is a good chance to play plenty of first grade given the club's problems up front this year.

The Bulldogs recently signed Tuifua for two years and have high hopes for the burly front-rower.

Genuine big guy (not fat) that can destroy defences, has awful fitness and discipline though. Hopefully the move to the fulltime squad mean he knuckles down and lifts a few levels.

He’s got some work to do on his fitness bro but I mean so did Fonua Blake and Junior Paulo so hopefully we got ourselves a damaging metre eater… it’s overdue !!

He's been given the golden ticket and hopefully he knuckles down and does the hard years. He's certainly a big unit

We need to keep recruiting guys like this, kids that are just naturally big and strong. The move to the fulltime squad introduces fulltime training programs and hopefully discipline so they stick to their diets and make the improvements they need to make. Manly have a few of them right now and they're making a genuine impact.

Would love a guy like Olakau’atu in our squad.

youtube vid shows him as an off-the-fence metre-eater with some toe. Was carrying a few extra kegs, footwork and offloads...reminded me a little of Kas. But that was in Flegg, so we'll see how he steps up.

On the face of it, promising signing.

Yeah I agree. He will also be eased into it playing probably 20ish minutes per game. Even taking Jacko off at 30 mins, moving Thompson to 13 and putting Jacko back on at 55-60 means this guy would do a 10 min and then 15-20 min stint.

At Jersey Flegg, he would've been expected to play bigger minutes.

Good signing tbh. We need players with raw talent but aren't quite there yet to develop
