The former New Zealand rugby league test forward Sione Faumuina has switched codes and is determined to put his controversial past behind him in Brisbane club rugby.
The ex-Warriors and Cowboys back-rower has been dropped or disciplined at his last four league clubs after being involved in off-field incidents.
But the former Wallabies flanker Chris Roche, who's Faumuina's new coach at Norths Eagles, says the 29-year-old who will play at second five eight is determined to make a name for himself in rugby.
Faumuina played two Tests for the Kiwis during his five-year stint with the Warriors, which ended in 2006 following repeated cases of alcohol-related misconduct.
