The 120kg forward has reportedly impressed South Sydney.
South Sydney Rabbitohs search for a genuine middle enforcer may finally be over.
According to the Wide World of Sports, they may have found the answer in 120kg front-rower Salesi Ataata.
A hulking presence, Ataata impressed against seasoned opposition in the NSW Cup last year and has continued to turn heads with his pre-season performances over the summer.
The powerful young prop will begin the 2026 campaign back in the NSW Cup, but his rise has not gone unnoticed, with a call-up to the Rabbitohs top squad firmly on the cards at some point this season.
Ataata’s emergence offers the Rabbitohs a much-needed point of difference through the middle, providing size, impact, and upside as the club looks to rebuild its forward rotation.
