Samoa had a better cup, but tonga beat them earlier this year, so I think it's fair to say they're "arguably" better than samoa. There's a debate to be had. In full flight I prefer Tonga, remembering they were missing mateo, and yeah just didn't play well.
Fiji with hayne at 6 would be my pick of the pacific nations.
