Maliepo and Baker’s transition to league has been seamless. Particularly impressive is Maliepo though I reckon in such a role on the field

What a team

Apologies WahsaurusRex. You’ve already posted the Tongan team
Ok , So Stacey picked a large pack with the addition of a out of sorts NAS & the debut of big Willison. Interesting. No Nikorima? Foran or Brown go down and then what? Lol. Crossland, CNK to fill that spot? Samoa & Tonga look awesome !

On the NZRL website says Hughes & Nikorima injured
Stefano played for Samoa in '23 now Tonga.
Storm probably blocked Hughes from playing. I know hes just come back from Injury, But he looked good.
Man, Samoa & Tonga are going to be huge problems for Aus , Eng & NZ. Good to see International footy be this competitive!

I don't know if Samoa's halves have enough points in them.
6 Talagi/CHT/LKT
7 Luai
That's why I would've picked Lino. Lead Wakefield from promotion to the finals. Has running game, passing game, kicking game & tackling game,. Game management . Plays on the right to Luai's left. Mase probably had the year of his life.
Does Niukore now play for the Cooks

Intersting to note that Ethan Strange's sister was included in the Kiwi ferns wider squad. The rumuors were that she was looking to play for England.
Wider Squad:
- Jasmin Strange (Sydney Roosters)
- Mackenzie Wiki (Canberra Raiders)
- Matekino Gray (New Zealand Warriors)
- Moana Courtenay (Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs)
- Payton Takimoana (New Zealand Warriors)
- Tenika Willison (Newcastle Knights)
- Trinity Tauaneai (St. George Illawarra Dragons)
- Martha Mataele (Parramatta Eels)
- Brooke Talataina (Wests Tigers) - Injured
- Gayle Broughton (Brisbane Broncos) - Personal
- Amber Hall (Sydney Roosters) - Samoa
- Jasmine Solia (Gold Coast Titans) - Injured
The Ellerslie Eagles feature prominantely. It is a shame that they now don't have a senior team.

Strange, Gray, Takimoana, Willison and Mataele how are they not in the top squad?
Further to this, Henry hasn't picked a single girl in the main squad who was a full-time winger this season..
I'm not going to go through and check, but I hazard a guess that none of them have started even one game on the wing this year.
I guess Takimoana needs to find a cure for cancer to get picked, since clearly breaking a dozen records and making both teams of the year isn't enough? lol
