The legend returned to Rovers the moment prmotion was secured afterwinning the National League One Grand Final in October 2006. A successful first spell at the club made him a hero on the terraces. He is seen as the David Beckham of Papua New Guinea. He helped Bradford win the World Club Championship at the start of the 2006 season and showed he still had plenty to offer Rovers with a superb first season. A true character of the game who defies medical staff by his return to fitness in record time. His late game-winning try at Catalans in February 2008 was his 100th for Rovers. Described by Justin Morgan as a good bottle of red wine in that he gets better with age. Looked set to leave the Robins at the end of the 2008 season, but was given special dispensation by the RFL to come off the quota and quickly signed a one year contract that keeps him at Craven park until the end opf the 2009 season.
