SATEKI Tuipulotu has been warned to keep his cool on his return to Headingley tomorrow by coach Adrian Skeggs.

The Tongan international makes his second trip back to Leeds since his move to Worcester and will want to improve on his last visit there when he was one of four players yellow carded in an ill-tempered affair.

Back in November 1999, Tuipulotu endured a torrid time at Headingley and was sin-binned after clashing with Leeds full-back Matt Oliver. A few months later, he suffered another poor display against his former team as Worcester went down 12-6 but was the outstanding figure in the 40-13 win over the Tykes earlier this season.

The games seem to bring the best and the worst out of the full-back and Skeggs is determined the player will keep his discipline this time around.

He said: "Sateki cannot afford to lose his cool and concentration - we certainly cannot have him sin-binned because we need to be completely professional.

"I think he is playing with a lot more confidence now than he has been in the past, so I expect him to be a key figure at Leeds."

Tuipulotu will play his second successive game back in his natural full-back position after scoring a hat-trick in Worcester's 27-8 win over Manchester earlier this month. The 29-year-old has played most of the season as a goal-kicking winger and has racked up 350 points with some superb performances. He is now the leading try scorer at the club with 18 to his name - two more than skipper Alistair Murdoch.

And Skeggs believes his new back line with Tuipulotu, Nick Baxter and Spencer Bromley could play a big part in an historic win tomorrow.

"The back three are quite an attacking unit but they have to work together and that is my only question mark. With Sateki, his confidence is high, he is kicking goals and there is a lot more that can go right for him that can go wrong at Leeds.

However, he must keep focussed like everyone around him."
