Canberra Raiders legend Mal Meninga: 'It's a difficult story to tell'

He is due to head off on another Kangaroos tour this time as coach for the Four Nations tournament in England later this month but it was Mal Meninga's recent trip closer to home that has uncovered family secrets dating back more than a century.

Meninga is the subject of SBS's acclaimed documentary series 'Who Do You Think You Are' due to air on Tuesday night and travels back to the South Sea Island of Tanna in the Vanuatu island group for the first time to meet ancestors and trace his family's journey to Australia.

One of the true icons of rugby league for what he achieved playing for Canberra, Queensland and Australia and his incredible coaching record with the Maroons, Meninga is the eldest of four sons to Norman Meninga and Leona Elliott but was unclear of his lineage prior to that.

See Mal Meninga on SBS at 7.30pm tonight.
