Like the services of the Church of Sunday have transformed the AFL prospect Fonua pole into one of the best attackers of the nrl at the tigers of Wests

This led pole to the Craigieburn Phoenix Rugby League club, the first step on a journey that in the end led him to Nrl. The final destination was Wests Tigers, an opportunity that asked him to leave his family close to the age of 18.

It is a move that has not almost happened. Just as the pole moved to the tigers, Melbourne’s storm tried to change his mind.

“When I left, it was fun because they started contacting my manager and wanted me to return immediately,” said the storm.

“But it was already too late, I had already committed myself in the decision. I moved because I didn’t think they were looking at me, I didn’t think they had given me many possibilities. So I took the opportunity to come here.

“And then when I was doing my contractual negotiations again, when I was free, they wanted to talk to me again, but it didn’t really work with their space for the salary cap.

“I’m still happy where I am now.”

“I think I can be, and I know it’s a great cry, one of the best stage objects of the game.”

Wests Tigers Forward Fonua Pole

The storm may have lost the pole, but they did not make the same mistake with his younger brother. On pole, 19 years old, he announced as a player of great promise when he made his debut for Melbourne in a pre-stage test.

“Everyone asks me how he plays and I say that it is a bigger version than me,” said Pole. “I think it’s six feet and seven, he also plays as an attacker.

“I know they are a little slow to debut the younger players over there, but I think that if you stick to the system (Craig) Bellamy, it will develop in a good player and his time will arrive.

“It is always a dream of mine to play with my little brother.

“We always talk about it to date, how nice it would be to play together.

“We have grown competitive against each other. If we can play together, it will be my great dream, a great result. Not only for me, but I also think of my family.”

The loss of support tigers Stefano Utoikamanu – “We are linked to blood” – The storm has allowed the pole the opportunity to become an initial support this season.

“I just want to establish more,” he said.

“I think I can be, and I know it is a great cry, one of the best stage objects of the game. I want to let me know as one of the best attackers of the game that can be harmful, especially with my attack and defense.

“I want to play coherent football and put my name out there and be a leader for this team.”
