Brendon Tuuta
Brendon Ephia Tuuta (born 29 April 1965) is a New Zealand former rugby league footballer of Māori (Ngāti Mutunga) and Moriori descent.
Tuuta played a variety of positions including stand-off, scrum-half, second-row and loose forward. He was known as "the baby-faced assassin" and had a reputation as a brawler.
He is related to Lewis Brown.
Originally from the Chatham Islands, Tuuta played much of his youth league for Canterbury.
Tuuta withdrew from the New Zealand Māori squad for the 1986 Pacific Cup.
He was a New Zealand international between 1989 and 1995 and played at the 1995 Rugby League World Cup. During his début in 1989 he was involved in an incident where it was claimed he kneed Paul Vautin. At the end of the 1989 season he toured England with the Kiwis and played in Featherstone for the first time.
Tuuta first played professionally when he played for the Western Suburbs Magpies in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership between 1989 and 1990.
He then moved to Featherstone Rovers in England, playing in the second division. In 1993 he was suspended for six matches for breaking Nigel Heslop's jaw with a punch. He played loose forward in the Rovers' 20–16 victory over Workington Town in the 1992–93 Division Two Premiership Final at Old Trafford, Manchester on 19 May 1993.
