Loko Pasifiki Tonga is set to make his NRL debut soon, bringing with him a commanding presence at six-foot-five and weighing 121 kilos.
Known for his infectious smile, Loko's excitement was evident when Head Coach Shane Flanagan announced his debut, set for Saturday evening.
Fans familiar with the club's pathways might recall Loko from his time at Endeavour Sports High in mid-2023, where he earned an Australian Schoolboys jumper.
More recently, he trained with the first-grade squad over the summer, preparing for this pivotal moment in his career.
The mantra that fuels his approach to the game is simple: "Run hard, tackle harder."
