Willie Manu played for the relegated Castleford in the ESL. Solomon Haumono & Tyrone Smith (ex Roosters PL centre) play for London Broncos. Adam Watene plays for Wakefield in the ESL. Tere Glassie was Newtown last year, not sure about this year. George Tuakura plays Bartercard Cup.

With many firstgraders not playing - there is no doubt Tonga, Fiji and Samoa can all field strong sides in the 2008 WC.

Before the WC they will all have training camps and lead up games to really get combinations going.

These teams will give PNG and France an awful scare - and the big three better not relax against them either.

I heard that Bulldogs Premier League prop Jamie Small and Newtown's Jim Beam Cup hooker Matt Habojan are also likely to play for Russia.

great for Jamie but seems a bit of a step backwards - didn't Russia usually field local players in their teams?
