I think it's a great move. The blue jersey already means a lot to me but now it's really personal. The numbers aren't significant especially with our roving game plan so I think it's an initiative that makes sense Rugby-wise too.
"Lote Daulako Tuqiri" is a Fijian-Australian professional dual-code rugby footballer who last played for South Sydney Rabbitohs of the NRL. He has represented Australia in both rugby league and rugby union, and Fiji in rugby league. He usually plays as a winger in both codes. Tuqiri first rose to prominence as a rugby league player for the Brisbane Broncos and Queensland Maroons, as well as the Fiji national rugby league team/Fiji and Australia national rugby league team/Australia national sides. He was therefore a high-profile signing for rugby union in 2002, winning 67 caps for Australia national rugby union team/Australia and being a part of their 2003 and 2007 Rugby World Cup/World Cup squads. He played rugby union for the New South Wales Waratahs/Waratahs in the Super Rugby/Super 14, and Leicester Tigers in England in season 2009–10. Tuqiri's contract with the Australian Rugby Union was terminated on 1 July 2009. No immediate reason was given, and Tuqiri returned to rugby league in 2010, playing for the Wests Tigers of the NRL. In September 2013, he signed a short-term contract with Irish rugby union giants, Leinster Rugby/Leinster to play in the Pro12 in a three-month deal. Just 6 weeks out from the 2014 NRL season, Tuqiri signed with his third NRL club, the South Sydney Rabbitohs on a one-year deal.

That guy is just awesome. I'd love to have a chat with him and see how big he is, how he prepares and things like that.
