Setu Tu reflects on career journey as Dragons face struggles

Setu Tu, winger for the St George-Illawarra Dragons, has emerged as a standout player in the 2026 NRL season despite the team's challenges. After moving from the Warriors, he has scored 10 tries in 18 games, including a crucial match-sealing try against the Sharks. Tu's career ascent has been unconventional, starting on a train-and-trial deal before being promoted to the Top 30 earlier than expected. He discussed the pressures of performance and family separation while adapting to his new role with the Dragons. As the season continues, Tu's contributions remain vital for a struggling team seeking improvement.
