The last few years haven't been kind to Leeds Rhinos star David Fusitu'a. In 2018 he was one of the sport's brightest stars, ending the season as the NRL's top try-scorer and finishing second to Josh Addo-Carr in the Dally M winger voting.
Aged 24 at the time, he appeared to have the world at his feet. But as can often be the case in the cruel world of sport, things didn't play out as expected. In the three seasons following he managed just 28 appearances and six tries. A cocktail of injuries and Covid-related issues hindered his progress and by the end of 2021, it was time for him to move on.
The Warriors are paying a significant chunk of his salary while he's at the Rhinos in a move that presents a new challenge. Unfortunately, that hasn't gone to plan either so far.
