If he wasn't playing rugby league, Jojo Fifita might have been preparing for a Commonwealth Games tilt in Birmingham.
"My quickest hundred was 10.85, that was back in grade 12 at school," the newest Titan says when asked about his transition from athletics to football.
"I was doing little athletics at Ashmore and the whole family got into it and loved it.
"100m was my favourite as you could sprint the whole way.
"I used to be a bit of a sprinter back in my younger days but as I've grown older footy became more important."
Fifita gave a glimpse of his speed when he found open space late in his debut game against the Broncos, but the 19-year-old laughed when asked about being caught by Ezra Mam.
"I was blowing pretty hard by that point of the game," he said with a smile.
"It took me two or three minutes to get back to my wing.
"That run, it caught me by surprise, I don't know how I got out of the in-goal.
"I was just trying to get as far down the field as I can and I was looking for support but nobody was there so I just had to take the tackle."
Fifita ran 208 metres and was solid in both attack and defence in his first chance in the top grade.
The youngster says he will be better for the experience.
"It wasn't the result we wanted but I had a good game I reckon," he said.
"It happened fairly quickly and I probably didn't' expect it to come this fast but I have had a good training run with the boys.
"I was injured last year but I did a better pre-season with them this season and I've got a bit of confidence in my game.
"I think it is all about improving each game. I'll watch this game over and see what I need to work on and hopefully I'll be better next week."
It could be Fifita verse the Fox this week, with Jojo a chance to line up against Canterbury flyer Josh Addo-Carr if the former New South Wales winger is named to return from injury for the Round 19 clash.
