Glad Lehi and TommyT play for manly

Dont forget Haumole, Koula and Paseka

With Yeo as Captain, Im guessing that will spell the end for Jurbo in Next years SOO

Well Maguire won't be coaching so the photos that got him in this year will be null and void

In fairness, I wouldn't pass it to Lomax either!

And when Trbo did pass to Lomax he dropped it cold with line in front of him.

What a non-story from the No News Ltd people.

How desperate has the media become by writing a story based on a few comments on social media

Attendance was 28,728 ... and I reckon if the Kiwis had beaten Tonga last weekend the crowd would have struggled to get to 20k

Tonga being in the Final is what drew the attendance.

Fun Fact: the two games against Tonga this year drew a total of 61,924. That's only 5,630 less than attended all 3 Ashes tests in 1988.

BTW, for mine Turbo isn't just the best fullback in the game. When he's fit and on form, he's the best player in the game. No one is better.

Not even Nathan Cleary.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Well that’s the pacific championship over and no injuries out of it.

Turbo was very good in the three games, though every time I watch Isaah Yeo play he just gets better, Cleary is probably the best player in the game but this bloke ain’t to far off him, I would have him as NSW captain for origin in 2025.

 

[HoldenV8]

Fun Fact: 3 players with the last name Katoa played for Tonga today.

All 3 scored. Sione and Eliesa Katoa scored tries while Isaiya Katoa kicked their only goal.

Sione and Isaiya are brothers. Eliesa is no relation, at least he's not a brother or first cousin.

This may have already been covered somewhere and I've missed it but... Aus are touring England next year, so what happens in the Pacific championship? Do Samoa take their place?

That's one way to rule on a forward pass when you are not meant to rule on forward passes. 🤷‍♂️

You could tell Kline had been busting to pull that one out of his arse all year. Finally. What a relief.

I thought Lehi was much smaller in size. He’s 190cm to Tommy’s 194cm.
Great photo. The best part, both uninjured. As others have said for next season Lehi at fullback and Tommy playing centre, but has a license to roam wherever he likes.
