Bloody hope the young fella lives up to the hype. We need some fire in the midfield.
Tipper Sam Tuitupou Jnr? Not getting my hopes up again. We've seen these 'future key players' come and go like fads.
oi oi get stuffed with the negativity, young fulla can ball
so pumped for the Nations Cup! c'mon 'Ikale Tahi 🇹🇴
At least they're getting some scrimmage time in. Better than last year where they went in cold and got smashed.
Another 'saviour' player. When's the whole system gonna get fixed? Proper coaching, consistent squad selection, not just pinning hopes on one 20yo.

lol okay keyboard warrior, we'll see when he actually plays
cheers for the support mate, but we need more than one good game
nah she's a fair point though, system been cooked for years
ffs can't read the article RNZ paywall by chance? Just wanna see team list.
same can't read the article coz paywall but hope he's good
Sam who now? Hope he's got the work ethic. Tonga needs more players sticking it out long term.
Good to see we're taking the USA game seriously. They're not a minnow anymore. Respect.
fingers crossed they actually use him right this time
Nations Cup run is gonna be lit 🔥 trust the process
facts mate, need more journeymen not just flash in the pan stars
Would love to know more about this kid. Anyone got his highlights? Or is this another 'good at trials' story?
