Apparently no relation, Tom.
I have no issue with his decision. He is indigenous Australian and Tongan heritage, rugby league international rules let him choose, and/or change his mind on whom he plays for.
Personally I think its great for the game and i cant wait to watch Tonga play.

I love it.Good on Fifita for making the call. Costs him plenty of coin.
He was great at the Koori knockout. Captained his team well and showed good leadership. Easily the highest profile player there.
Strange there was no in depth profile piece from Kent on this.....
If Cronk is the "high profile player who has bought a mansion in the Shire" he could be having some interesting walks down the mall.....I don’t recall hearing Cronk complain about any of his QLD mates playing for NZ in Rl and union.
Nor did he care about all the NSW blokes playing for QLD
Or all the merkins getting paid more than they declared from his own f**king team.
