Neil Fox - 6220 pts in his career. “If you play for 20 years, 30 games a season and score 10 points in every game... you’d still be 20 pts short of his total. And that was in the era of 3pt tries.” Happy 80th birthday to a legend.

Tonga emerged as major RL force because of individual player choices and with a World Cup as a platform. To claim NRL as being the driving force is disingenuous
Last decade seen development of Pacific Island Test matches improve immeasurably. Prior to Covid, Tonga beat Australia. We haven’t been able to capitalise on that historic event due to COVID. It was massive result for RL. NRL developed this. More to come. UK developed nothing.
