International Pacific Championship

I saw a lot mention Caelys Paul Putoko in the Cook Islands vs Fiji game and he was listed at fullback, is there a chance this guy could become our next fullback? Also interesting to see nothing on Niukore after selection by Cook Islands? Wonder if he’s injured?

CPP has looked pretty suspect under the high ball when he's played fullback for Jersey Flegg and again in the weekend for the Cook Islands. I see he's named back in 6. Kid's got an electric running game though, definite potential.

Not sure re Niukore

Yeah just looked up the team selections after I posted and see he’s playing 6. Wonder what’s happening with Niukore then? No selection again

He made some pretty shocking errors in that Cook Islands v Fiji game.

There's definite potential there though. He's lightening quick and speed is something we obviously don't have a lot of at this club.

Tonga look very strong.
Big in for Toa with May playing.
I like Ioelu starting and CHT coming off the bench, you would think Jazz must be playing in the middle now.
Bit of a risk with no 2nd row coverage though.

Yeah, no real 2nd row cover.

If they do get a 2nd row injury, I'm guessing Tago goes to 2nd row(debuted there for the Panthers), Blaize goes to centre and CHT goes to 6.

Leka is starting now. Vaimauga is on the bench.

How bloody good is it to have two warrior's juniors playing for a national team that could arugubly beat NZ and AUS. Thats some amazing big game experience to giving em. And i'd also aruge that a samoa vs tonga crowd has gotta sound just as loud as a grand final one.

Also we all know that demetric forced there hand, they had to play him this game after training the house down! Example A:
