Awful by Turbo there.
Tonga start off like a house on fire, but once their pack goes off they lose steam pretty quickly
Did I watch the same team? They belted us in the middle for a majority of the game. If anything they lack a few classy backs to ice the opportunities.They really lack some oomph in the middle third.
There’s talk a lot of players could switch allegiance to the Pacific Island nations for the upcoming World Cup. If they can convince the likes of Fifita and Moe to switch and Tatola can find form again, they could have a side that could do some damage in that tournament.
Hopefully a couple of young guns emerge in between now and then.
Looked worse live. 14cm forward maybeThat looked a bit forward lol
He actually looks leaner to me and he played like it tbh. Was excellent the back half of the year.Did Taumalolo eat North Queensland before the series.......

I thought most of Tonga's backs were decent, if they had Staggs for example they would have had a bit more danger, but where Tonga I feel really needs something extra is fullback, Hopoate is capable of some impressive stuff but he didn't show any of it against Australia, and played a game where he was completely man handled.Put Tonga’s forwards with Samoa’s backs, you’ve got an almost unbeatable team.
