NRL: Brisbane Broncos playmaker Ezra Mam has broken his silence after being dealt drug driving charges.
Mam breaks silence over driving charge | 00:49 Roosters enforcer Spencer Leniu wants to see a three-match series between Samoa and Tonga brought in to rival State of Origin, with the powerhouse prop predicting a crowd in excess of 50,000 when the rival nations meet in next year’s Pacific Cup .
It’s led to thrilling upsets like Samoa reaching the World Cup final two years ago, with both proud nations embarking on tours to the UK since then. Spencer Leniu has called on officials to organise a three-Test series between Samoa and Tonga that would rival State of Origin. Picture: Matthew Lewis/Getty Images for RLWC“It was majority Tongan fans, but we’d have the same number of Samoan fans there, so it’d be blue and red. I think 50,000 would be perfect. They’d turn out anywhere.”
Leniu played in that final and last year’s Pacific Cup but missed out on this year’s UK tour, with the NSW prop urging officials to bring in an annual three-match series to rival the Origin experience.
