Charlie Tonga is a Rugby League player who plays for the Sydney Roosters in the National Rugby League competition. Recognized as one of the toughest and most damaging forwards in the league, Charles as he is now known, is an inspiration for any upcoming rugby league players. Once a club bouncer, Charlies dreams of playing in the NRL were once questionable, however using his exceptional talent and potential as a guide, he not only found a contract with the [Canterbury Bulldogs], but also made his way to the Roosters where he had a profound influence, even being kind enough to stand down from his first grade appearances and represent the lower grade side (Newtown Jets) where he guided them single-handedly to the Grand-Final (and was best on ground).
