Greg Growden, in his latest Ruck and Maul, salutes a man of the people, Wallabies hooker Tatfu Polota-Nau, in The Sydney Morning Herald.
"here are many weeks to go in the rugby season but we have already found our player of the year. Come on down Tatafu Polota-Nau. You can't be beaten.
"But, we hear you say … ''What are you talking about? He is not even playing.'' True, but Tatafu nonetheless gets our award for the incredible amount of work he is putting in to ensure his club, Parramatta, gets back on track.
"While the Wallabies certainly miss him, with the Test hooker still to recover from several major injuries, he is devoting an enormous amount of time helping out at the Two Blues - a club which a few months ago was under threat of being dumped by the NSW Rugby Union from the Sydney first-grade premiership."
