On the field Tago has been an absolute wrecking ball this season, tearing opposition teams apart with strong ball-running, deft offloads and some crunching tackles.

But off the field he is quietly spoken, and when he was contacted by the Daily Liberal this week it was apparent he was not getting too nervous about Sunday.

"I'm just chilling watching a movie," he said.

As laid back as he might be off the field, Tago will be one of Dennis Moran's go-to players on Sunday and the former Roosters lower grader is keen to repay the hospitality shown to him by the Spacemen faithful.

"I was in Sydney with the Roosters but it was all too much so I went back home to Logan in Queensland. I'd given up playing footy." Tago explained when asked how he found his way to Parkes.

"I got a call from 'D' (Moran) asking me if I'd like to come to Parkes and I'm so happy I did.

"It's really different from Sydney and when I was asked to come here I was told that it was a real tight-knit club and a real family atmosphere and it is.

"The people have welcomed me and treated me so well. They didn't have to do that, they didn't know me.

"There's no way I can say thanks to the people of Parkes other than to try and help them win a competition, so to do that we need to beat CYMS on Sunday."

Moran certainly did his homework when he recruited Tago, as not only did he pick up a former Roosters player but the 22-year-old is also a former Queensland under-20 representative who played with and against the likes of NRL players Anthony Milford, David Klemmer, Dylan Walker, Michael Lichaa and George Jennings in the 2013 junior Origin match.

Also involved in that game was Dubbo's Charly Runciman, who himself forged an NRL career before recently moving to England.

With a resume like that, and with seven tries and countless try assists from 15 matches this season, many believe Tago's stint in Group 11 will only be a short one.

But he wouldn't go delve too much into his future when asked.

"I'm just worried about Sunday," he said.

"I've loved my time here but I don't know what I'm going to do. I just want to go out and win the grand final for the boys and all the supporters.

"CYMS are a good team so we need to stay in the game for the whole 80 minutes. We didn't do that in the semi-final and they beat us but I think if we do that on Sunday we can win, for sure."
