Pacific Championships 2024

[Manu Vatuvei]

I come up with better excuses to not play Senior B cricket in summer than most of these cowards are coming up with. At least say there's a beer festival on or something.

 

[Last Week]

Can't wait to see the RLPA put out a press release about how this is all the NRLs fault somehow.

Players are pathetic.

A few squad updates this morning

2024 Pacific Championship squads » League Unlimited

- Cook Islands named
- Hughes out of NZ side (injured), replacement TBC
- Martin out of Aus side (injured), Young in for him (Wishart replaces Young in PMs XIII)

Martin played well in SJs absence for the Wahs this year.

At least PVL and Abdo are acknowledging the challenges with playing internationals at this time of year and are talking about shortening the NRL season to help accommodate the international game. Positive signs.

Martin played well in SJs absence for the Wahs this year.

Martin is also out.

NZ eligible hookers and halves unavailable/unwilling: Brown, Hughes, Johnson, Foran, Marshall-King, Smith, Martin, Strange, Weekes, Roache, Katoa, Fainu, Luai. 13 and counting. Also assume CHT is in that boat.

 

[Perth Red]

well the glitz of the pacific comp wore off pretty quick for the players!

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Actually given CHT isn't in a Samoa side that's pretty low on spine players, could that mean he's a chance? CHT/Nikorima would be a real COVID Wahs throwback/nightmare.
