Canberra Raiders to feature in Pacific Tests
Tonga to name formidable team for Test against Samoa
Jason Taumalolo, Andrew Fifita and Will Hopoate are set to come under consideration to captain a Tonga side bolstered by the defection of New Zealand prop Addin Fonua-Blake in next week’s Pacific Test against Samoa. Canberra’s Ata Hingano and Wests Tigers utility Tuimoala Lolahea will again be the halves, while Raiders hooker Siliva Havilli and Penrith’s Sione Katoa are likely to share the dummy-half role.
"It is great that guys like Ata Hingano and Saliva Havili, in particular, are playing regular first grade for Canberra. They have played almost every game this year.

Hingano won't know what hit him getting to play big minutes in his preferred position.

Imagine a universe where Hingano does play for the kiwis and marvel at my sick burn.

So who does Papa play for on that weekend. Will it be Samoa or Queensland? If he and BJ are selected for Samoa I hope they show more discipline in the dining room than they did at the 2017 world cup.

Re: Canberra Raiders to feature in Pacific Tests
Good stuff. I would have had Ravalawa on the wing over Montoya. Montoya was great last year but just seems to get worse every week this year.

Papalii is a certainty to be selected for Queensland again so that is where he will play.
Re: Canberra Raiders to feature in Pacific Tests

Brisbane forward Joe Ofahengaue has been chosen to represent Tonga for their Pacific Test showdown with Samoa next Saturday, which indicates Queensland have not selected him in their squad for the second State of Origin match.

Oh, good on them. Happy for Lui especially, he deserves it, he's been really great for us this year.

Lui was awesome today, and all season, coming off a major injury he has been tremendous. Love his carries and one percentages.
Very unsung hero, well deserved
