Just thinking out loud, If the rumours are true about Haas and Tino coming over to Samoa, if the Broncos are considering using Staggs as a 5/8 while Ezra is suspended, if Blaize Talagi kicks on as a 5/8 for Penrith and there and the squads are close to injury free the teams for the Pacific Cup 2025 RLWC 2026 might look similar to this for Samoa, Tonga, NZ Samoa 1 RTS 2 To'o 3 Critta 4 Tago/Talau 5 Taulagi 6 Talagi 7 Luai 8 Haas 9 CTH 10 Utoikamanu 11 Blore 12 Su'a 13 Tino 14 Kum Tong 15 May/Hunt 16 Leniu 17 Nanai Tonga 1 Hopoate 2 Tupou 3 Koula/Suli 4 Alamoti/Penisini 5 Katoa/ J Fifita 6 Staggs 7 Katoa 8 Fonua-Blake 9 Luke 10 Kaufusi 11 Olakau'atu 12 Katoa 13 Taumalolo 14 L Fainu 15 Koloamatangi 16 Paseka 17 D Fifita/Talakai New Zealand 1 Kini 2 Isaako/Warbrick 3 Timoko 4 CNK 5 Mulitalo 6 Brown 7 Hughes 8 Fisher-Harris 9 Smith 10 Leota 11 Papali'i 12 Nikora 13 Tapine 14 Crossland/JMK 15 Thompson 16 NAS 17 Niukore/Whyte I am more excited to watch those teams if they are at near full strength than Origin, and I love me some Origin.

Word is Kotoni Staggs might be playing 6 for the Broncos next year as Mam sits his suspension. Could be the guy to fill the 5/8 hole for Tonga.
Running 5/8 very interesting
Staggs Is not a playmaker! He's a centre!
@@angelmafi3508 Thanks for letting me know! Luckily you knew!
