We could just totally bamboozle him and call him "Brendon"
I think it would catch on,He wouldnt have a clue but if everyone called it him it would stick.

SHEFFIELD Eagles have signed Samoan international Quentin Laulu-Togagae after a two-year chase. The try-scoring back joins the Eagles from top Brisbane club Souths Logan Magpies who finished top of the Queensland Cup competition last season. "I've been on this project for a couple of seasons but it will be worth it," said coach Mark Aston. "This is a massive signing for us. He's an exciting, quality player, who has a lot of skill and scores tries." Laulu-Togagae - nicknamed 'Q' in Australia - has agreed a two-year contract with Eagles. At Souths and for Samoa he plays full-back, which sets a poser for Aston with Misi Taulapapa established in that position at the Eagles. Aston hints at a possible switch to stand-off as a replacement for Brendon Lindsay who has returned to Australia. "His best position is probably full-back but when you have a quality player what does it matter what number he has on the shirt? Quentin can play wing, centre or half-back," said Aston. "Quentin has flair and skill. He will score a lot of tries for us next season and defensively he takes great positions and is quick enough to get across and stop anyone." Aston first made a move to sign him in 2008 but the player lacked the international qualifications to gain a UK visa. Those problems were cleared when he played for Samoa in their last two internationals. Aston said: "He will be here after Christmas with his family - his wife and a young son. All the paperwork is done at our end and he just has to go now and get a visa for the UK." Laulu-Togagae, 26 on December 1, is in the top ten top try scorers in the Queensland league's history and the 5ft 9ins player has attracted the attention of clubs in the NRL - Australia's Super League |

I'll be honest I've not heard of the fellow but I stay optimistic and hope he turns out to be an outstanding player. |

Not necessarily. Just a caveat. Billy Slater's arguably the best in the world at his position, but even he's dropped a crucial ball or two. Probably cost Australia the 2008 World Cup Final and the Four Nations final a couple of weeks ago. |

Looks like a great signing, I'd never heard of Misi Taulapapa and I seriously doubt most of our other fans had and he turned out to be a great player, I trust Mark's judgment when it comes to South Sea Islanders!! Good luck Quentin. |
