A superb finisher who covers Fullback and Wing. Turuva is in his first season with the Tigers after leaving the multi Premiership winning Penrith side.
Sunia Turuva started at fullback for the Tigers in the absence of Jahream Bula. Also missing was skipper Api Koroisau, and Jahrome Luai due to State of Origin duties.
Turuva made 18 runs for 169 metres, 33 kick return metres and 46 post contact metres. The Tigers led for most the match and had to fight off a late Roosters comeback to win 30-28.
The Wests Tigers were beaten by the Raiders 12-16. Trailing 16-0 at halftime, the home side scored 2 second half tries and came within a whisker of scoring late in the match through Jahream Bula and were also denied a try seconds later due to a pass ruled forward by the referee.
Turuva made 154 metres from 17 runs, 51 post contact metres along with 3 tackle breaks.
