Mooks is there assisting
Still remember him and Foran tearing up Aussie 2014/15. And this is Aussie Cameron Smith, Slater, Thurston years.
So yeah, lot of history there with those 2.

After that game (which was pure joy) not going to rag on anyone today, except those who allowed Eli to play and and Ash Klein, though I'm not sure AFB would make a squad now anyhow, in any case he's Tongan committed and good on him - only point i want to make is that he he's gone backwards since leaving the warriors... which is ragging on the sharks, which is expected and always allowed
Can we also bag on eligibility rules. They want to protect state of origin by playing the best players ( that have evolved to be pacific players). Let a man represent who he wants! Change when ever, man kiwis been dealing with this forever.

Yeah good call mate, we're bit starved of international footy atm, aussies origin is more important to them.
Michael maguires team showed we can be extremely competitive too
He is a good man for supporting Stacey and everyone including Bellamy knows he is a great assistant to a head coach.
I thought Stacey got the game plan bang on with the way he had them using the ball and playing second phase, it is our natural game and these guys know what to do when the opposition have the ball.
Nice to see Stacey get some wins as coach and for NZs greatest test coach to be part of it in the legend Kearny.

No promotion relegation game.
Cook Islands vs South Africa for a spot in the World Cup next year.
I hope Karmichael have kept the boys training etc. Would be a shame for them to miss out next year especially with it played in Australia.

Tongan backrower Eli Katoa has required medical assistance after seemingly falling ill while sitting on the interchange bench during the Pacific Championships in Auckland.
Katoa required urgent medical help and the aid of six support staff and teammates as he was transported from the bench and into the tunnel of Eden Park on a medi-cab with around 20-minutes remaining in the match.
Medical officers placed an oxygen mask on the backrower’s face while also covering him with a team jacket.
The Storm forward suffered a HIA in the first-half of the Kiwis win over Tonga, before returning to the field after passing the assessment.

Our Harold Mats team would smash them away from home… did they even play a single away game?
They not reporting that accurately because he picked up an hia before the game even started
