Speculation is rising over a second coming of NTU's Prodigal son - Daniel "Potato" Thiam.

Facing the lack of depth in the backs department, NTU Rugby decided to pull a fast one by securing a year-long loan deal which could see Potato Thiam making his way back to the west side and the Tri-University Championship. Negotiations are in progress now and a pending medical exam, NTU Rugby is determined to complete the deal during the January transfer window.

After a successful, gold winning IVP debut campaign, and despite leading NTU to countless successive finals, the former NTU captain has failed to touch gold since. The Bedok Kings Inside Centre who was once self proclaimed himself as "The best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be" NTU player, has been released on a free transfer since last summer upon graduation.

With so much still to play for this season, NTU Rugby will be hoping that Potato Thiam can now turn back the clock and reproduce his once prolific form as NTU chase the elusive Tri-Univeristy glory.
