Enjoyed the interview, and appreciated that the presenters didn't interrupt and let her talk. Could see there was a lot of pain in that memory, you're amazing Mele - a trailblazer for those to follow sis. Ofa atu 🇹🇴
man i’m a grown man and this made me cryy . have always loved watching you play mele coming up in the club ranks. . keep grinding cos it’s never about the destination but about the journey ofa atu
Love & appreciate you for your commitment to family and our community and for your undying passion to represent your country and for carrying yourself the way you do, malo e ngaue moe tau, ofa lahi atu mele. 🫡💙
What a beautiful woman you are Mele,so humble so vulnerable and yet so strong and real,love and kindness has no price,it’s just how we are as human being bought up in 275.I’m a proud Mangere man who went to MC,who married a pakeha Mangere woman that went to NGA Tapuwae College(now Southern Cross)🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤
You just earned a new fan loved your story I think a lot of pi can relate your mum’s saying is on point💯 but I liked when you said iam here to feed my family not impress a community 🔥 lol The mantis 👌🏽
Take it in and take it all the way up Mele 💯 ofa atu and thank you for sharing your story. Most of us can relate to having self doubt because of past experiences and that feeling that everyone else is better than you. But it is what is and like your mum said "ai kataki ke lahi" 💯❤️
This journey may not have been easy, many of our journeys have not. The issue is, if this player is a biological male, then it's no surprise that running through biological females and scoring lots of points is easier. Biologically a male, that has been through puberty, will have higher bone density, larger lung capacity, greater physical strength. Playing against biological women is unfair. Gender dysphoria is a real psychological condition and should be treated as such. No problem with a transgender league. Biological men should not compete against biological women. I guess it will take an injury to a player to drive home reality and common-sense. Apologies for saying the quiet part out loud. God help boxing, marathons, tennis, gulf and swimming. These women's sports and many more are under threat. What should we tell our little girls.
And your the reason why people are afraid to speak about how things affect them. If you don't know the person individually then you shouldn't call on things you have no idea about.
@@benlatu3343 There's always two sides to a story but people complain about everything now. So she turns a tv on and now she's no longer a Black Fern because of it? Is she playing the Islander card, female card?
I think there may have been more to that story because it did seem pretty minor but she could’ve withheld the full story to stop her from really breaking down, I was surprised too I thought it was going to be a complaint about racism or harassment. Good player though.
If you’re really that thick in the head. Obviously an act of racism was shown towards Mele, hense why she talked about being a pasifika person and how they made her think less of herself. Racism isn’t a small issue and you calling BS can only mean two things. Either you found nothing wrong with her story because Racism is something you practice daily or you’re to dumb to understand her story and the impact it has on future pasifika players.
She wasn't specific enough - too vague with her explanation. Did her roommate accuse her of being inappropriate; and if so, for what reason? Because she looked or dressed like a male? I'm all for hearing a player's story - just be detailed enough without confusing the audience you wish to influence. Malo aupito.🇹🇴

shes got some toe for a big girl, what a weapon
Melbourne Storm Baby
Just wondering why her ring finger is longer than her pointer finger.Thats usually a male trait.
Is he claiming to be a woman? Not admitting that he is trans?
Blair is a try hard. Not even funny. Boardering on cringeworthy.
What a disgrace
I'm calling BS! She's made a big issue out of something small.
Why isn't she talking about how league and the WC called her a boy?
