EASTWOOD coach Ben Batger was delighted his powerhouse No.12 Enoka Muliufi had packed on 10kgs   when he lobbed at pre-season training this year.

Adding that bulk to his frame meant Muliufi tipped the scales at an imposing 115kg and was ready to do what he does best – causing havoc to opposition teams in the midfield.

In the Woodies last two victories over Norths and West Harbour, the 27-year-old showed just what a weapon he can as he got his revitalised team on the front foot with his strong carries.

“He has gone back to ‘Big Noks’,” Batger told Rugby News. “He came to me at 117kg and he went down to 105 and now he back to around 115 and that is where he plays his best footy.
