The concept has been talked about for a long time, but now we can finally present the Islanders team. No longer can the players who trace their roots to the islands of the South Pacific be considered the emerging force in rugby league - in many positions across the park they are already the best in the game.To emphasise the point, the
Herald picked a nominal Polynesian team (Fiji is part of Melanesia, hence no Petero Civoniceva) based on current NRL form. Think of the players who get you out of your chair - most of them are here.
