All the country areas - and the GF itself in Brisbane.

Opposition beware – George Fai has returned to rugby league with a new lease on life and is more motivated than ever to make it back to the top of the game.

The former Brisbane Broncos prop, who developed his game through the grades with Souths Logan Magpies, has signed on with Brisbane Tigers for the season after stepping away from the game for a few years, mostly for family reasons.

This year, armed with a new mindset and determination, Fai said joining with the Tigers was driven largely by a desire to reunite with coach Jon Buchanan, who is in his second year with the Tigers and previously coached Fai at the Magpies.
