Internationals 2014 PACIFIC TEST Samoa vs Fiji

[mt.wellington]

Just a thread to keep you all informed about this upcoming test in Penrith Saturday 3rd May...

 

[way2sharp]

Do the winners play in the four nations?

 

[motu1]

will it be televised?

 

[Sugar Ray]

So yeah, SBW can boycott his way into our team if he wants

In my head, I have an awesome team, but the team in my head is always totally different to the team that is actually selected. I'll try lower my expectations this year.

Love to see it. Or maybe wait until after Sunday when the Kiwi team is announced so you can pick from the scraps ...

I think I'll wait until after Sunday, when I can pick from the players that turned down the Kiwis

Be a real coup to get SBW and Matai. Maybe even Kasiano. Wonder if they'll get Godinet and Mosoe back for it? Matagi, Roberts, Winterstein, Maitua, Lafai and Vidot should be sweet to play. How about Milford???

More a joke and not meant to be taken literally. Both Kiwis and the Aussies rape the Poly teams. The only players who dont play for the bigger brothers are those that cant make it like Suaia Matagi or those who are past it like Asotasi. There were some notable exceptions to the rule last RLWC like Papalii but generally thats the way it is and always has been...

The Aussies piss me off...they don't need to poach players, they have a wealth of talent

Im all for the Island boys playing for there home nation. I deffiniatly don't wont to see Hurrell selected for the Kiwis

Yeah, it'd be awesome. I don't think the Super League guys will be available, but we seriously could use Godinet because we're not rich in halves/hookers.

Most of those guys should be available. I think Winterstein and Lafai could miss out if Matai, Simona, Leilua and Nofoaluma are available to us. Not sure about Milford though, Ricky Stuart is being a dick and telling him to not play this game.

 

[Magic Stick]

Should be a cracker this game...Man that Samoa v Tonga game last year was 1 of the best games of 2013 at any level

 

[runituptheguts]

would be good to see sonny buildups put on a toa samoa jersey

 

[charlie bobmarley]

$10 for 4 games . Rip off.

 

[MarkW]

Just to derail slightly... have the Kiwis ever played a test over in any of the island nations?

 

[drake83]

would be good to see sonny buildups put on a toa samoa jersey

If Sonny cant be assed to put on an Anzac jersey or the roosters release the game what are the chances he turns out for Samoa in a one off?

 

[Wellington Warrior]

Wasn't he planning on being out of the country on holiday?

Sheesh Fiji gona have a deadly backline....Im surprised that big lump smell my finger hasn't locked in Semi Radradra for QLD

Never say never. Wouldnt surprise me to see him get picked and play. Dont think these Tests are actually Tests. Last years one with Tonga vs Samoa had Sam Moa playing then he plays for the Kiwis RLWC team 5-6 months later ...
