Not sure if he'll make FG this year, but apparently he will be training with the 1st's so who knows. Also says he could play in the backs or the forward pack. Could be a cash out down the line if he ever does. There is a video of his highlights on the site (Though i'll add one here too), and FWIW Jayne has apparently wrapped him.
Interestingly enough we've also apparently scouted out some U18's from a Fiji Rugby school so perhaps its sign of things to come.
@Archer I don't know a great deal about this guy but I have seen him play a bit and he is very good! It was actually Dakuwaqa that took the last spot in Fiji's Olympic winning 7s team - some say it he who kept Hayne out although I personally don't think Hayne was ever in serious contention (another story).
Anyway, out of interest Dakuwaqa is blind in one eye, lost his sight mucking around as a kid, but the point of this story is I think in part the related resilience and commitment he showed to still make the great Fijian 7s team embodies who this guy is and I think it could be a really great signing for the Raiders!
