Siua Wong touted as 'next big thing' by Phil Gould

[Thirteen]

Siua Wong has been named in the preliminary Fiji World Cup Squad.

And that there is what makes the rugby league World Cup an absolute joke.

[Hurricane Hastings]

So there might be a Fijian + Tongan (Siua which means Joshua) plus possibly Chinese heritage in the mix ?

Yes in NZ there is quite a bit of Pacifika/asian mixes. Alex Chan, former Eels forward was one such example. I remember reading a funny story of him attending family reunions, half were these huge burly polynesians and the other half tiny little Chinese people.

Similarly quite a mix with the Polynesions and Swedish as well (think Sorensen, Hermanson etc).

Hey Vee,

Do you or your nephews know much about this Kiwi boom youngster Otuvai Kivalu we've just signed?

Hopefully if all our stars line up and these boys stay physically and mentally fit then our succession plan over the next 6 or so years is looking awesome up front..

In fairness he had 3 legitimate options. He chose Fiji.

no mate… tough road ahead for all these young chooks… but when the hard work meets the opportunity, hopefully these seeds will yield a successful crop.

Is he from 3 countries?

What don't you get? He has blood from 4 countries. He's chosen one of them.

Thought Wong looked ordinary against an average Panthers outfit.

I thought the same thing,seemed to not get involved much and just hanging in the centres having a bludge..

Then again it was a very wet track and rainy day so I look forward to seeing improvement in the next game!

Old Thirteen needs to do some research - mmm use Google perhaps

Didn't he what...but he wasn't alone. It was an insipid performance by the whole team against a makeshift Panthers team
