THE Roosters are quietly confident that injury-plagued centre Tautau Moga will play a part in their premiership defence before the year is out.
Child prodigy Moga has had a nightmare run, with two knee reconstructions on his two knees in the last couple of seasons.
But Moga has made a successful return through feeder club Newtown and the strong-running centre is slowly regaining form and confidence.
“It is going to take time and Tautau understands that,” Roosters chief executive Brian Canavan says.
“He has played five games now and is getting his match fitness and timing back.
“He is a tremendous athlete and we are excited that he is on the way back – hopefully he will be back in the NRL before too long.”
Moga remains unsigned for next season.
