Turama Paranihi | Sport

Ko Aorangi te maunga. Ko Wairarapa te moana. Ko Kohunui te marae. Ko Ngāti Hinewaka te hapū. Ko Ngāti Kahungunu te iwi. Ko Tūrama Paranihi tōku ingoa.

Kia ora. I am a hardworking and motivated individual who strives for excellence in all aspects of my sporting endeavours. While I’ve also participated and excelled in other sports such as touch and ki-o-rahi, rugby league is the sport in which I aspire to excel. I’ve been playing league since I was five years old, exclusively representing the Hukanui Rugby League Club, which my entire whānau is deeply involved with. I come from a family with a strong rugby league background, with brothers and cousins who have all earned spots on representative teams. Family values are of utmost importance to me, and I uphold these values when I’m part of a team. Outside of sports, I enjoy spending my time riding motorbikes and hunting.
