    Also Marty Taupau too. Would of been good to have his physical play against these big boppers.

    This will be one of the best sporting spectacles of the rugby league calendar. Hopefully it gets the full attention it deserves.

    With Ata Hingano missing for Tonga, who's the likely halfback? Is it the great John Asiata?

    Have Tonga announced who their captain is, since Sika Manu has retired? Surely it's Taumalolo

    When do they actually name the teams?

    I would hope today to be professional, don't be amateurs.

    There was some discussion, especially on the Panthers forum, that he might lose the captaincy to RTS, especially if he was playing wing. I'm more than happy he's retained it.

    Has to be Taumalolo. He could be their captain for the next 8 years.
