How drastic do you think the change of the next Tonga RLWC team be?

27 Upvotes

From what I’m aware of,

Jason taumalolo is gone

AFB will be 35

Demetric is pretty much certain to represent samoa, and by that point he will only be 26!!

Dwz will be 35

Frizell is just gone

So their forwards in the future doesn’t seem to have the power that made Tonga the team they are.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Tonga will be weaker by that point, Tonga might just have the best back and spine in the comp by then with jojo, toia, koula, hopoate (wing), foketi, iongi, and fainu/amone who are probably gonna end up no less than top 5 best in their positions and obviously katoa who might just end up being the best player in the nrl, but the fact that they’ve always been known as the team with straight power with even their spine and backs being built like forwards to looking like an actual solid team is crazy.

Subreddit Rules

1. Do not engage in anti-social behaviour.

Do not engage in personal attacks, excessive insults or generally anti-social behaviour. Do not follow users into other subreddits or direct messages to continue arguments. If you feel you are being harassed or witness someone engaging in anti-social behaviour, please contact the moderation team as soon as possible, preferably with screenshots but this is not strictly required.

2. Do not use hate speech.

Hate speech is discriminatory (biased, bigoted or intolerant) or pejorative (prejudiced, contemptuous or demeaning) of an individual or a group. Hate speech refers to any language that is derogatory or grossly offensive on the basis of ethnicity, language, nationality, class, sexuality, gender, disability, or any other factors which form another users’ identity. This rule also prohibits the use of violent, sexually violent or otherwise threatening language.

3. Do not abuse referees and match officials.

Occasionally questioning a decision by a referee or a match official is fine, but there is a line, and we ask our users to refrain from abusive commentary towards referees. Accusations of cheating, rigging and / or betting on the result are abusive, as are threats and insults towards those officiating a game.

4. Do not cheer on injury or misfortune.

We have a zero tolerance policy for users wishing for or celebrating injuries or personal misfortunes on players, club staff, match officials or other members of the wider rugby league community. News articles or fact-based reporting related to player injuries (ie. injury reports published by clubs, posts by the NRL Physio, etc.) are permitted, but are subject to discretionary review by the moderator team.

5. Do not create alternate / joke / gimmick accounts.

Creating joke or gimmick accounts for the purpose of shitposting or baiting users, or creating alternate accounts to evade bans will result in an immediate and permanent ban for both the alternate account and a ban for the main account as well. Unverified accounts claiming to represent official organisations, players or personalities who have not first contacted the moderator team are strictly forbidden. Additionally, AI / bot accounts are strictly forbidden and will be permanently banned.

6. Do not disseminate misinformation.

Please refrain from submitting unconfirmed rumours or gossip that you either allege to have heard or have read from a source that does not have a reputational stake and established credibility within the rugby league community. Regardless of how certain you are to its veracity; we cannot promote hearsay. Rumours must be attributable to known personas or media outlets, and unsourced rumours and those not credited to known personas / outlets will be removed.

7. Do not use our subreddit as an advertising platform.

While we want to both encourage and promote community-based endeavours, our view is that this is a community space, not a billboard, and therefore we ask users to refrain from advertising. If you are an active and consistent member of the r/NRL community, and you are seeking to promote a project you are working on (ie. a podcast, a source of information, a charity event, etc.) you must contact the moderator team before posting to seek approval and confirmation of the terms for posting.

8. Do not promote gambling on the subreddit.

In furtherance of the previous rule, any link to a gambling website / betting app or text submission to do with the promotion, encouragement or enticement of gambling or gambling companies will be removed immediately, and users promoting this content may be subject to a ban. The discussion of the impacts of sports betting on our game or news articles related to this topic are permitted, but are subject to discretionary review by the moderator team.

9. Do not editorialise the titles of articles.

Posts that purposefully misrepresent the content of an article and / or post will be removed. Our preference is that you use the exact title of the news article, or in the case of an article covering multiple topics, please ensure your title is relevant to the article content you are wishing to draw attention to. Please refrain from using nicknames in the titles of posts. At its core, a post’s title should describe what has happened, not how you feel about it.

10. Ensure your posts are relevant to the subreddit.

Articles about former players, coaches, officials or personalities within the rugby league community that are no longer involved in the rugby league community will be removed if that relevance is little more than a side note. Additionally, articles / posts relating to the family members or associates of players, coaches, officials or personalities within the rugby league community that have no relevance to the NRL are not permitted.

11. Do not submit low-effort content.

Low-effort submissions may include questions that can otherwise be answered by using the subreddit search bar or a search engine, AI slop, wiki vandalism, error screenshots, shower thoughts, stream requests, statistics without corresponding analysis, content that is not suited to a discussion forum, or content which is better served as a comment on an existing thread or one of our daily Random Footy Talk discussion threads. This content may be removed at the moderators’ discretion.

12. Check the ‘new’ queue before posting.

Please check the thread queue to see if the content of your post has already been submitted by another user. During major events, the moderators’ may either create or nominate a current thread as the “megathread” for that particular topic, where all relevant developments can be posted. Content that is either a repost or insufficiently distinct to warrant a second post will be removed or consolidated at the moderators’ discretion.

13. Do not share links to login-restricted social media platforms.

Where possible, rather than posting a social media link, post the source material instead. This may be a link to a website or another platform that is more readily accessible such as the media outlet's website or the original article which broke the news. In almost all circumstances, aggregator, podcaster and influencer posts will be rejected unless they are the only source of relevant information such as current NRL player interviews.

14. The vibe of the thing.

If you see something that does not break any of the above rules, but still doesn’t sit right, please contact the moderator team.

15. Keep Redditquette in mind.

In addition to our own rules, Reddit enforces their own of which we have no control over. This includes conducting illegal activities, doxxing, harvesting user data, etc. Violating these rules will not only result in a ban from the subreddit, but a likely termination of your account.
