Addin Fonua-Blake says he felt envious watching on from the sidelines while playing for the Kiwis as Tonga pulled off an upset in last year's World Cup and indicated it played a major role in his return to the Pacific nation.

Fonua-Blake is back in red after playing one Test match for New Zealand last year, an experience he doesn't regret but one that later provided him with clarity of where his heart was placed in the future.

Bunker disallowed a great Kumul try due to an alleged 'tap forward in mid air'

Stop nitpicking FFS 😡

Is the game in Denver actually being played at 3:30am local time. How is that going to grow the game internationally. Do they really expect anyone to attend the game live. Seems a bit odd, or is it just being played there for a truck load of tv cash (US tv station selling it to UK/Euro/Apac)

Uate does a Matai 27th mins, wish he'd fire up for Manly

Didn't they bring that rule in after Brett Stewart did it at Brookie years ago, against the tigers or someone like that

Uate goes down with left ankle injury 3 to go 😱

This is making me dislike NRL even more.
One ref is working just fine also.

Not sure, but I remember a Killer classic at Suncorp in 2008 where we got the try awarded

3:40mins

Do we get salary cap compo for him, or was it just for the Denver test?

Good question I think this was for long term injuries only they just said high ankle sprain for uate

It’s only for non Manly players

Only if Uate is ruled out for 12 weeks

Even if we rule him. Out for the rest of the season we have only 9'games left so don't see us getting help from the NRL.
