Playing career

A Mangere East Hawks junior, Seuseu represented the Counties Manukau Heroes in the Lion Red Cup in 1995 and 1996 before joining the Auckland Warriors where he was named Reserve Grader of the Year in 1997 in a side that lost the Reserve Grade Grand Final.

Seuseu then became a stalwart in the New Zealand Warriors front row after Joe Vagana left the club to join Bradford Bulls in 2000, making over 120 appearances and scoring 6 tries.

The tough New Zealander joined the Wigan Warriors at the start of the 2005 season. His younger brother, Anthony Seuseu, also played in Super League VIII with strugglers Halifax.

The Twelfth Man also did a small sketch on Jerry, when he was in character as Ray Warren and calling a Rugby Game. Ray referred to Jerry as " Jerry Seu Seu and I see you too, Jerry Jerry".[citation needed]

Representative career

Seuseu played for Samoa at the 2000 World Cup.

He later represented New Zealand's national side 11 times, locking horns with Andy Farrell and Adrian Morley during the first Test against the touring New Zealanders at the end of 2002.[citation needed]

Personal life

Seuseu is a religious man and has a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education.

Retirement

Seuseu retired from rugby league at the end of the 2006 Super League season after two years playing for Wigan Warriors.

Between 2007 and 2009 he worked as a Football Development Officer for the Auckland Rugby League focusing on grassroots juniors. He then took up a similar position at the New Zealand Warriors, becoming the Welfare and Education manager for the 2010 season.[1]
