Timana Tahu (born October 16, 1980) is an Australian Rugby League player for the Parramatta Eels in the National Rugby League competition and for New South Wales in State of Origin. He is one of the most talented players in the NRL and certainly one of the best backline attacking players in Australia. He was well known for his abilities and the centre-wing combination with Matthew Gidley when with the Newcastle Knights. He is unfortunently injury prone but makes up for it and is worth every dollar. Has struggled quite a bit since the move to Parramatta (from Newcastle) , but late 2005-06 he has re-gain his magnificent form, setting up tries and producing some individual brilliants.
