Tim Natusch

Tim Natusch (born 3 July 1986 in Papua) is a former professional rugby league footballer who last played for the Wynnum Manly Seagulls in the Queensland Cup.

In his early years he lived with his family in Papua New Guinea before moving to New Zealand with his parents and settling in the coastal township of Waikanae, roughly 100 kilometres (62 mi) north of the capital city, Wellington.

Natusch attracted widespread support as a professional rugby league footballer immediately with his large upper frame, strong tackle and light feet.

He then played his junior rugby league in New Zealand with the Te Aroha Eels in the Wellington competition before moving to Australia in 2005 to join a scholarship program with the Knights.

After not playing a game with the Brisbane club, Natusch joined Intrust Super Cup side Wynnum Manly Seagulls in 2011.
