    It all started when that fie poto greedy committee tried to fire Coach Woolf & speak like they run the MMT & no one else 😂. I guess they know now, only the Tongan people can tell you who runs what. Glad they’ve faded into the background while our Boys create history after history for our little Island of Tonga ‘Eiki 🇹🇴. Forever MMT

    Without Prejudice. Thankyou PMN for this story. As this whole NMT names SAGA came up after MMT became Famous since 2017 up to now. We cannot deny the fact that Mate Maa Tonga Captured the Mind Heart and Souls of Every Tongans and other Pacific Islanders and World wide Audience. The Spiritual Life of the Pacific Islanders Surfaced in their Singing highlighted their Faith and Unity and SportPersonship most of All , Honouring GOD. But WHY all this happens. The New TRL Chairman George Koloamatangi has somethings to say. The Famous Australian Politician onced said, PlEASE EXPLAIN. But I say this. Now I know What SPOIL SPORT means Mr CHAIRNAN. Chair supposed to be SIT on , Not the The other way.

    Give us the Names of those people. While the The Mate Naa Tonga was on the pinnacle if their Game and they cane and fone that. That's a Disgrace. Exile them from TONGA. The Name belong to the Game. The Rugby Leaque Team of TONGA. It does Not belong to the President or CEO or any Individual or Corporate. It's a Sports Body of TONGA. Who registered the Name does Not give you right ti Control n have Copyright Right ti the Name. You were an Employee. You have Name n No Players nor Supporters . You thick Head.

    Without Prejudice. To All Mate Maa Tonga Fans. The Chairman responsibles for MMT names .not use by Our Tonga XIII RL is Mr George Koloamatangi the Chairman n his board members. Its up to them to do an Honourable decision and reverse things back to former situation and Resign. What a Shame. TRl with no PLAYERS in International level. No wonder IRL kicked you out. You Done no Justice for TRL players n local clubs. Hope you understand that. Mr Chairman, you wanted a lawsuit on MMT names n Logo. You got the Nerve of Wessel to fo that. Your case about what , the NMT name. Did you COIN those words. King Tupou IV named TRL team Mate Maa TONGA. I smile when say on Media that you go or wants the Realms involvenent. Kii Pusi koe mei fe. Give back what belongs to the Riyal Family. The King coined MMT and have Imperial Right to copyright that and Claim it. Copyrighted MMT by TRL was base on that Assumption as to Honour His Majesty's FkLaulaunoa to name the Team MMT. Talk about Copyright yeah RIGHT Should learn about COPY CAT First. Mr Chairman. Meow. Go find the Tin Sardines its rattles.

    What an idiot! Pakilau has zero idea of leading sports administration in Tonga but has the audacity to demand the name MMT to give back to the team. MMT name belongs to the monarch not the people. The current TRL board is responsible to protect the IP and assets of TRL including its name. The previous board misused money that went unaccounted. Between 2017 and 2020. The current board is trying to salvage whats left unfortunately through lawsuits.

      Can the TRL get those players like wolf and his board crew could????
      Can the TRL create and make players in tonga like wolf and his current board crew could do outside of tonga????
      Could the TRL form a good relationship with these boys and get all these fans that are known world wide like wolf and his board crew can????
      Why is it that when this MMT team gets a good ball rolling with decent players and now they want to trade mark the MMT name with a price but couldn't do it when Tonga didn't have a chance at beating NZ & AUS back in previous years and previous world cups????
      You're the same bloke that replied to a comment on the other video saying that sika and wolf be salvaging all the money like they haven't been the ones setting up these training camps and trainers for the boys and ect for preparation for games like it's all free.

      @dkmaps8547 your first two questions are loaded and irrelevant. What happend to the money that went unaccounted between 2017-2020 from the previous TRL board? Money that was suppose to play players. Also, why didn't the previous board prioritize developing players in Tonga instead of getting Tongan players from the NRL? Although nothing wrong with that but why not bring up their local to play for the country?

      @dkmaps8547 Wolfe and Sika tried to take control of the TRL. Sika was the sports minister in Tonga at the time and Wolfe wanted to be the director of TRL. They wanted to control over the MMT brand in Tonga. When the previous board was removed, the new administrators came in and found money went unaccounted between 2017-2020. IRL pumps in hundreds of thousands of dollars to TRL in which Sika was in charge, most of it what was left went unaccounted. This is after a financial auditing because TRL needed to declare to IRL their spending records. It's not fkma to discuss money issues, it's fkma when a foreign sporting body pumps money to Tonga but when it comes to give an account of spending, we got nothing to answer especially when there are hundreds of thousands of dollars gone missing.

Do you have any idea what the rugby players did with the money that was got from RLWC 2017. That includes Woolf too. That's the past and I don't want to talk about it anymore. But watching people talking about the name and why this, why that and have no idea of what really happened. Is bullshit.
