BRAITH Anasta was the king of the kids at Dalmeny Public School last week.
Anasta, now with the Wests Tigers, visited the Prestons school as part of the NRL's anti-bullying campaign. The backrower was there to talk some footy, meet the youngsters, answer questions and he signed autographs.
The Wests Tigers completed a one-day blitz last Tuesday, visiting four schools in the Liverpool district. They were John Edmondson High School, Sule Prestons Senior College, Lurnea High School and Dalmeny Public.
Anasta said so far he is happy at his new club: "Things have gone smoothly, I have settled in well," he said.
Told early last season he was unwanted at the Sydney Roosters in 2013, Anasta was on the search for a new home and former Wests Tigers coach Tim Sheens signed him.
