Possible Lineups for Pacific tests

[Knights_2016]

Just wondering what people are thinking the lineups will look like come gameday as there are many which now aren't eligible for their respective pacific nations e.g. Tui Lolohea for tonga, and others which now play in the super league and won't be eligible e.g. Frank Pritchard for Samoa

Feleti Mateo in the halves perhaps? Shame Lolohea has gone with the kiwis - he would have been an ideal solution for Tonga

Tonga

1. Will Hopoate
2. Sosaia Feki
3. Solomone Kata
4. Konrad Hurrell
5. David Fusitua
6. Samisoni Langi
7. No f**king clue
8. Andrew Fifita

13. Mickey Paea
14. Peni Terepo
15. Agnatius Paasi
16. Leilani Latu
17. Joe Ofahengaue

Halves are always going to be the problem, looks good except Hopoate, Fifita and Williams won't be eligible due to nsw and i believe Langi isn't back from a knee recon or something yet which puts even more pressure on halves options. I reckon paulmac could be on to something with mateo however the halfback spot seems wide open

Double post.

Looks like the Tomgan halves could be made up of Hingano , Foster or Katoa

That would be very good for tonga then if they could provide some decent halves their forward pack looks extremely strong and the backs are looking nice too

As for the samoan side Sione, McGuire, Frank-Paul, Papalli and Junior Paulo are all uneligible due to Australian, NZ and USA allegiances
Coach Matt Parish is attempting Milford to change to Samoan Allegiance as he's banned for origin for this year but that would rule him out for origin in 2017 as well as the kangaroos world cup campaign so i can't see him playing for samoa

For Tonga I reckon the side will be something like this:
1. Michael Oldfield
2. Sosaia Feki
3. Solomone Kata
4. Konrad Hurrell
5. David Fusitua

6. Ata Hingano
7. Daniel Foster

8. Peni Terepo
9. Siliva Havili
10. Albert Vete
11. Manu Ma'u
12. Feleti Mateo
13. Leilani Latu

14. David Fifita
15. Agnatius Paasi
16. Siosaia Vave
17. Joe Ofahengaue

18. Vaha Pulu
19. Felise Kaufusi
20. Mickey Paea

I think Nuuausala is eligible for Samoa, he hasn't played for NZ in 3 years and that was not the same Paulo that played for USA.

Fiji

1. Naiqama
2. Radrara
3. Villiame
4. Blake
5. Koribete
6. R Millard
7. Groom
8. Campbell-Gillard
9. Korisau
10. Evans
11. Bakyua
12. T Simms
13. K Simms
14. Waqa
15. D Saifiti
16. J Saifiti
17. Vunakece

That side looks extremely strong but again the halves would be a weakness for Fiji, Tariq and Korbin Sims, Campbell-Gillard and Evans All have to decide upon whether they are eligible for their respective states or to choose Fiji before this game. I believe that the eligibilty rules have to change as these tests are weakened by not allowing players of double eligibility to represent 2nd tier nations when not selected for their first tier nations. they should be available to both at all times without having to wait to change eligibilty. For instance if Milford plays origin next year but isn;t selected for the Kangaroos for the world cup, he won't be allowed to represent Samoa at the tournament which weakens the competition
