@dwatsonhayes Tonga population 105k. australian Tongas who recognise Tonga as home land 35000 and NZ 61000. Samoa & all polynesian Islands show same movement. Because of work opportunities Polynesians are not retiring to homelands but do continure family assistance which is their great culture

Individual commitment to a group effort,that is what makes a team work,a company work,a society work, a civilization work. Lombardi could be referring to NSWRL which in its 115th year was awarded 2022 Organisation of the year ensuring that J J Giltinans voice is never silent

@Clifftiger44 Roy Miller was editor of the Mirror and some of rugby leagues best young journalists came from that era. Just not the Placard that read / BROUGHTON SACKED.

[Paul Broughton OAM @broughto8]

For 25 years Roy Miller with Manos host Mick Ellison, ,Geoff Smith & I met at Manos Main Beach even closed then re-opened.We did at times action our beliefs as a small group we could still influence the descision makers. "Rocky at Manos" remains a diary we carriy with us always

[Paul Broughton OAM @broughto8]

@Martin_Lang11 Great piece. Heritage to be preserved.whilst the future unfolds. I signed Apisia Toga 1972 Saints, 86 Masters signed a Tongan as his 50 th player,then 3 grades,John Fifita. 1997 Bai to Chargers. Next Expansion of NRL an 18th team must begin NOW. ARLC has a mindset about expansion
