Tulsen Tollett is an ex-professional rugby league player who played for Penrith Panthers and Parramatta Eels in Australia's elite ARL competition, and also for London Broncos (now known as Harlequins Rugby League) in the European Super League.
He was born in Hastings, Sussex in the United Kingdom, but he moved with his family to Australia at the age of six.
He played at the Panthers and the Eels before joining the Broncos for the inaugural season of Super League in 1996. He played his junior football for Emu Plains JRLFC.
After a successful first season in England, he was selected for the Great Britain squad to tour Papua New Guinea, Fiji and New Zealand.
Tollett's finest moments with the Broncos include:
Tollett also had spells in rugby union with English Premiership side Harlequins during 1997/1998, as well as London Welsh in 1999/2000 during the Rugby League close season.
Tollett was forced to give up playing in 2001 due to a persistent shoulder injury. He now works in the media for ABC News 24 and ABC NewsRadio in Sydney and has also worked for BBC Radio 5 Live, Sky Sports, Eurosport and Setanta Sports amongst others as a presenter, reporter or commentator, and worked as a pitchside reporter for TVH, the host broadcaster, at the 2007 Rugby World Cup in France.
Tollett also holds a Bachelor of Physical Education Teaching degree, as well as a 1st Dan Karate Black Belt.
