Former Vodafone Fiji Bati skipper Lote Tuqiri is adamant he can still be a force in rugby league as he prepares to debut for the South Sydney Rabbitohs 15 years after his first NRL game.

Tuqiri is expected to play in Thursday's NRL season opening match against the Sydney Roosters.

Tuqiri will come up against two of the game's best young wingers in kiwis star Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Daniel Tupou.
