About Jack Afamasaga

Jack Taualii Afamasaga, also known by the nickname of "Skuks", is a New Zealand former rugby union and professional rugby league footballer who played in the 2000s and 2010s. He played at club level for the Parramatta Eels, the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, the Melbourne Storm in the National Rugby League, the Western Suburbs Rosellas in the Newcastle Rugby League competition, with stints in the Queensland Cup and France, as a second-row or lock. During the next two seasons with the club, Afamasaga played another six games but could not hold down a permanent first-grade position. Afamasaga was offered a new deal at Parramatta at the completion of the 2006 NRL season but signed for the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles instead, deciding to chase a regular first grade spot. Afamasago made his first grade debut during the 2004 season against the Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval. However, after failing to crack a regular first-grade spot in 2008 (only playing 2 matches) he has now been released by Manly.
