But, by chance, he accepted an offer to play some Bartercard Cup league for the Auckland Lions - "for fun''. </p><p>"I had a couple of games of league just to fill in some time, and I happened to play a game when the Warriors were playing Manly in Auckland,'' Suniula recalled. "After that game 'Crusher' wanted me to come over and give it a crack over here. It was just a few days before I was due to leave (for the US).''</p>
