Looking at how iongi played at 6, I think it's safe to say he is our fullback. How good is junior going this year!

Interesting that he's described as a simple straight forward man. I would say there's a few that fit that mold that have reached the pinnacle…"

Joash should get first crack. Iongi wasn't that bad, Tonga as a whole didn't gel and had a shocker against a Samoa team on fire. How good was Junior, hope he brings that energy and aggression into the Eels next year.
In regards to Paulo, must be time to renegotiate contract?
Yeah I didn't wanna say it, but if we can jag a premiership season out of him and Moses, I'll take it.
Well i mean Tonga were not good overall but Iongi could not get into the game either. Didn't have the experience of knowing when to inject himself into the game.
But he is a better Fullback, particularly at this part of his career. I feel personally it is more important to have a better Fullback than just trying to get a good 5/8 and replace your Fullback with a good Fullback to balance the spine.
The whole Tongan team was disjointed. The amount of times Katoa had to rethink a kick because none of them timed their runs was shcoking. Iongi did have some good tocuhes and afew bombed tries. Although, as a fullback, he wouldve been infinetly times better for Tonga than Hopoate, blokes illergic to making a cover tackle or chasing the left or right play.
Shcoking aye
