FETULI Talanoa is currently one of the best wingers in Super League, according to Hull FC coach Lee Radford.
The 26-year-old has been on fire in recent weeks to earn an extension to his deal until the end of the 2015 campaign.
After arriving from South Sydney Rabbitohs in the off-season, Talanoa has started every game for the Black and Whites, a feat only matched by Joe Westerman.
With the Kiwi now tied to the KC for next season, Radford hopes he continues to shine.
"I thought Fetuli was outstanding against Warrington on Friday night and we want that form to continue," he told the Mail.
"I don't think there's a better winger in the competition who's better at finding you a ruck win when he's returning the ball.
"He's been outstanding for us and been a real asset and great to have around the place.
"We just hope his form, as it has done all year consistently for us, continues.
"He's the type of bloke you want to get your sets rolling and he's a winger that your forwards appreciate."
With the emergence of youngster Callum Lancaster stealing the limelight on the edges, Radford wants to make sure Talanoa's displays do not go unnoticed.
He added: "He's been a real find for us this year. I think it epitomises sport and media that all we're talking about is Callum Lancaster, and not Fetuli who had a stand-out performance.
"He played on the left last week, then we switched him to the right and Callum gets three tries. It's sod's law I suppose.
"What I saw of him, I knew the kid could play and doing the background checks with opinions that I held in high regards, he was always going to be a player.
"He's turned out great for us."
