NRL in Tonga

Two proud sons of Tonga. Two remarkable careers. Two 300-game milestones.

Jason Taumalolo and Daniel Tupou

Two humble champions of the modern era who have represented their clubs, families, and our Kingdom of Tonga 🇹🇴 with pride, integrity, and excellence.

True leadership on and off the field who have inspired generations of Tongan children around the world to dream big and proudly represent the Kingdom of Tonga.

They have paved the way showing what is possible through hard work, humility, and faith.

The people of tonga are incredibly proud of you both.

Malo ’Aupito 🙏🏽🇹🇴❤️
