It is the second time a Wests player has won the Try of the Week after Faleula Finau took out the weekly prize early in the season.
The competition, conducted by the NSW Rugby Union, is open to all junior Rugby players across the state and involves players, parents, clubs and schools sending in video footage of the best tries scored each weekend.
The well constructed try has scored Alofa a Samsung T10 MP3 Player valued at $269, and you can view the try online by clicking here.
He now goes into the running to win the Samsung Try of the Year. All weekly winners will be judged by HSBC Waratahs players and coaches with the best try winning a Samsung home entertainment package valued at $3,000.
The Try of the Week is just one element of the Samsung Rugby Development Program. Aimed at kids, the Program is designed to get kids involved in a series of fun, interesting events to encourage participation in Rugby, and has already seen the distribution of 15,000 Samsung backpacks to junior players all over the state.
