We should sign as many as we can at least. If they can beat an Australian test team imagine how they could go in the NRL. We already have their fullback and one of their hookers. I know Jason Taumalolo is unavailable but maybe we could replace him with David Fafita ? Taukeiaho is available.

One off test match is different from 26 rounds but agree I'd take their entire forward pack.

Taukeiaho
Pangai Jnr
Taumalolo
Fifita

Easily the best pack in the NRL...

Tonga were at their best as a team, Pay should have a look and see if he can snare a bargain.

Or they beat an Australian team who was about as interested in playing footy in November as the general public are in watching it.

That win was clearly a promotion for the international game lol... what a sad state of affairs the NRL is.... imagine the players of old turning up and pulling those sorts of shenanigans in a green and gold jersey

I think the class of Thurston/Smith/Cronk has always been the difference in state of origin and Tests..... Before them the Kangaroos had great players in the halves like Langer, Stuart, Johns, Kimmorley, Daley, Fittler, Lockyer, etc..... Now they have Hunt and DCE as their options..

NRL clubs chase Kangaroos-bashing Tonga beast after impressive performance
By The Mole

NRL clubs are clamouring to sign former Wests Tigers forward Ben Murdoch-Masila following his barnstorming display for Tonga in the big upset win over Australia last weekend.

The 28-year-old Warrington Wolves back-rower played an impressive 71 minutes, pulling off some big hits and topping the Tongan tackle count with 28.

Murdoch-Masila played four years at the Tigers and two at Penrith before moving to England in 2016.


But the nuggety forward showed he still has plenty of petrol in the tank and NRL clubs have been quick to take notice.

"I've had two approaches already and am expecting some more in coming days," Murdoch-Masila's manager Mario Tartak told Wide World of Sports.


"He has been killing them in England."

Taukeiaho (as well as Hass) is one of the best props in the game and he kicks goals. Roosters probably have him locked in the books for 500k. What a joke. he is twice the prob that Klemmer is and he reportedly is on a million.

probably bro. His real break out season was last year though. I would be surprised if his manager did not hit them up for an upgrade , he is a gun and uncle nick would not let him go.

He's on 350k. Not even joking.
