Possibly, Josh Schuster is also able to play for Samoa as well though if he wants to play for them he would probably be ahead of him.

Didn't know that... you'd think being a young guy he probably would be pretty keen to get into an international game.

Schuster at 6 or on the edge would be a good addition to their side.

I think Milf will likely get picked in the squad... whether he's making the 17 each game I'm not sure... but they're looking like getting a decent team together.

There is some serious talent there if they get most of them.

World Cup Samoa spine:
1 Crichton or Staines or Milf
6 luai
7 Chanel or milf
9 tevaga
13 schuster
possibly best tier 2 spine?

Entirely depends on if Milford decides to turn up to play. I doubt Luai can do it on his own

Keep in mind if Tino doesn't get picked for Australia he would be able to play for Samoa, I think Milford will be the half with Luai considering he is playing on the right for Newcastle atm, and all the other halves options they have play on the left.

100% Crichton will be the fullback, either May or To'o gets moved to centre so they can fit Staines in for the strongest starting side with the Hammer the other centre.

Also depends if Joseph Suaalii wants to play for them, I suspect more players will put their hands up for a world cup in the off season then for a mid season test.

Without doubt it's the strongest tier 2 side, Tonga has weakened in the last few years and Samoa has a way stronger list of players to choose from then Tonga ever had if they get the ones they want.

 

[Allo]

Kevin Naiqama at 6 is hilarious

 

[Cult]

This Tonga team wouldn’t beat one of the Origin under 19s girls team. They look like they’ve never played the sport before.

In saying that, is Kasey Badger trying to get herself noticed or what. Put the whistle away.

There’s your issue.

It’s only part of the issue. They have looked terrible from the get go

 

[Allo]

Silver lining is the young Broncos girls are playing well with Ferguson in the 19s Origin and Polata for Tonga today.

 

[Mustafur]

Once Origin moves back to a normal NRL round being on a wednesday unless something is done, internationals won't be played until the off season.



Pretty sure the NRL was the one that hosted all the internationals last week right?

Hence the stupidity of adding ONE new team. It limits your fixture possibilities SO much.

Imagine where the game could be if there was a person with some semblance of long term vision in charge.

They wouldn't last long enough without being knifed by the idiots on the commission.
