Iszac Fa'asuamaleaui has left the door ajar for a NRL return after delivering a standout performance up front for the Tweed Seagulls in their tight 22-18 loss to the Capras in Rockhampton.
The younger sibling of captain Tino got through 45 minutes at the weekend, punching out a strong 162 running metres at lock, but it was his defensive efforts that were most impressive.
The 22-year-old made 28 tackles at an incredible 100 percent efficiency, as he continues to quietly push his case for a NRL recall after starting the season in the Hostplus Cup.
The Seagulls will next face the Norths Devils in Brisbane on Saturday; meanwhile, Ipswich travel to Mackay after their recent bye.
