Glad to hear all the positive reports. The video did show a fair few falling over the line tries, so I'm more excited now there's so many first hand accounts of his talents. Let's hope he's one of those guys who can transfer it to the top grade

I hear he's 75% ish, and a lot of them were from the sidelines?

Willie Mason, Ben Te’o, Tonie Carrol, Joe Ofahengaue, James Tamou, Felise Kaufusi, Josh Papalli, Jordan McLean, Brad Thorn.

There the only kiwis I can think of to have played origin. But I do agree, Qld has always been the bigger poacher.
I remember they were trying to get Sam Kasiano to play for them at one point.

I remember watching the lower grade highlights of a future NRL player some years ago. I have high hopes for Hiroti......He could be the next Stuart Mills!

Karmichael Hunt is a Kiwi.

With the Kaufusi family ... technically Felise is Tongan but born in NZ. Antonio is born in Tonga. They grew up in Bundy.

Holmes and Ponga are Australian-born Kiwis.

Excited to see how he goes today. Does anyone think he’ll be given the kicking tee?
