This Star's Bigger than Willie!

Meet Cronulla's future secret weapon, Sitaleki Timani or simply 'Star' as most of his team mates call him.

Timani, who was born in Tonga and raised in New Zealand - stands at over 6'6 foot tall and has made his name playing in the junior Rugby ranks in Auckland.

Scouted by Cronulla, Timani is now calling Shark Park home and working overtime in the Sharks gym to add some muscle and width to his current build.

Possessing exceptional skills and agility for such a tall man, Timani is being groomed to be an even more damaging ball runner than he has been in junior grades.

Expected to eventually become a specialist back rower or prop, Timani only started serious weights programs last year and his progress is being monitored and only once he has fully developed will the true extent of his talents be know.

Much in the mould of Willie Mason, this raw talent looks to have all the ingredients of the NRL's next big star - he's in the right home, as the Sharks have been craving a future big star to help them go all the way.
