"Strongest side... for a number of years" Tonga taking no backwards steps as they clash with 🦘

[@imbatman5882]

Win or lose bro is a legend to the Tongan people, i can still vividly remember the matches played in New Zealand 2017 and 2019 sea of Red where they defeat New Zealand and Australia. Haven't seen such passionate fan base in league ever. Still gets chills rewatching it.

[@graymorkem6759]

Me too. This palangi love Tonga 🇹🇴

[@Pones88]

Forward pack is outstanding. Their spine might be outclassed. I hope it’s a close game

[@renegade9064]

I think Tongans who ACTUALLY watch NRL know our spine is outclassed for sure, but just hoping they can prove us all wrong and at least make the Aussies work for their win. Supporting the 🇹🇴 Tokos Always!

Fifita was first

[@criticalcriminal]

@@Alekosdw HAHAHAHA thats cap Fifita was inspired by Taumalolo to join Tonga you rookie , but bruh Taumalolo is the guy that changed peoples hearts and opened minds. He shut down a offer from NZ a top tier nation to play for Tonga which sparked and inspired other islander players/teams to do the same by representing their heritage loud & proud , instead of buying in to top tier teams. Do your research buddy!

I don’t think people remember , the 2013 side had the likes of Brent kite, Anthony tupou, Richie faaoso, fui all be it were later in their careers but were players the generation under than them certainly looked up to. Jason was in that side too.

I think it would be great for league if Australia wasn't even in the final. I know it would be great for Fox, think of the months of dissecting why Australia failed they could capitalize on.

[@MrUHTiger]

Imagine that 😂 that will get ratings for months have everyone wanting Bennett, Bellamy or Cleary

[@MAGA2024TRUMP-y8q]

Yeah well last year the Australians got pumped 30-0 in a finals but close enough 😂😂

[@I_Negan_I]

I feel like Australia should be there because they’re the standard like Penrith. I feel Tonga has a chance here to play the Final with Australia. What needs to be done is a 4 nations cup comp with Samoa in it.

[@lomiaseliga3405]

Tongan team is backed with superstars and hope they will shake up this Pacific Championship ❤

[@nathj4818]

There should be an Aboriginal team in the tournament if everyone else gets to represent their cultures why not Aboriginals,this isn't a political or racial thing just a logical question

[@rick2373]

They might be representing their culture, but International footy is still about country more than culture. Indigenous boys have the all-stars game.

[@nathj4818]

@@rick2373 I hear ya man but the boys should get a chance on the international stage,everyone else does.

[@I_Negan_I]

That would be nice but no way will they allow it. Look at the kiwis, all the Samoan and Tongans playing for the islands making their selection stocks slim. They’ll never allow the Kangaroos to be diminished a little.

[@wperfect]

You're not wrong. Most of the players have never lived in the islands, most are playing for their heritage, not their country. Samoa has 2 players out of 23 born in Samoa. Tonga has 1 out of 21

[@wperfect]

@@I_Negan_I The majority ( over 95%) are not citizens of the islands, & have never lived there. They're playing for their heritage, not their country

[@adenlarance2903]

Bring it on.

[@megaworldasia360]

TBH, I don't understand why it's not 4 teams. The tournament would still run the same length of time but no team would have a bye. The problem is that one of the southern hemisphere has to go to the UK each year for a test series against England. Next year it's gonna be either the kiwis or Kangaroos who have to go up there.

[@davidtaliai996]

I honestly dont rate Woolf as a coach. I watched all 3 games against England and we took over a strong squad but we were outplayed and outcoached in all 3 games despite what the scoreboard said at fulltime. Tonga played alot of one-out footy and Woolf took alot of his personal favourites over there and it showed. Siliva Havili and Tui Lolohea are Ron Massey level players.

[@debbie6353]

Good luck, bruv

[@megaworldasia360]

Out of the 3 teams, the kangaroos have the best backline by some margin. Tonga might just have the best forward pack. The kiwis will miss Hughes, Brown, Leota, NAS, Mulitalo, and Manu a lot. If the roos get parity in the forwards, I think their backs will get the job done.
