Benaiah what a cool name. One of King David’s mighty men. All the best to you and God bless.

[@kalittaioelu7665]

Yes, long story to his name... he received it 2 months after he was born. From the Bible and also after his Great Grandfather (Penaia).

That's a cop-out saying south Auckland got you stuck.just move outta Auckland.heapso jobs in the country with rugby academy's a plenty play npc get spotted.. live the life fishing diving hunting grow vegetables until you get to the big time.nrl is all politics now they have a million kids going for the same position on the same nrl team.too much pressure on these kids to perform.theres super league and Japan rugby now u can make big money elsewhere.goodluck to you young fulla but they will grind u with multiple games during the week all year long plus training until ur injured then they tear up the contract.but best of luck but please parents needa open your eyes these corporation don't give a crap

moving away from auckland isn’t as easy as you think it is lol these ppl are born into a cycle of borderline poverty. if it was that easy to move to another city when things get tough, all of SA would’ve done that by now

[@maoricolossus4301]

@@yasmin4281 yea nar that's weak everyone I know including myself was born into poverty.stop making excuses for people that love the hood it's all they've ever known so sometimes it feels safer to stay comfortable with your everyday normalities.risk is needed to gain rewards all about mindset

[@yasmin4281]

@@maoricolossus4301 so everyone in the hood has the same story as you? everyone has the same resources as you? so bc you made it out means absolutely everyone can? lmao good on you but again, it’s not that simple
