[toiverstret]

[SuperPapaturts]

wtf pounds fuck off with american shit whats that in kilos!?

[tonga819]

malie siana, look sharp

[poriruaboy13]

if there are two dislikes then that means there are two pple that dnt know how to play rugby lol

[sydneymassive]

let's see how he goes when he plays against men

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive Check out how Gorden Tallis, Vatuvei, Ukumai, John Hopoate, Will Hopoate, the three Paea brothers, Andrew Fifita, Richard Fa'oso, Ephalahame Lauaki, Michael Jennings, Willie Mason, Solomon Haumono, Jim Dymock, Brent Kite, Antonio Kaufusi, Tony William, Jeremy Smith adjusted to life in the big leagues...they didn't go to bad and given the size and hunger of Tongan players there will be a few more to come

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive re this you sent me 'all exceptions that prove the rule. League is moving toward smaller, more skilled players instead of the brainless tongan drone' lols...read Phil Goulds article re the growing prevalence of Polynesians in Under 20s and NRL league. He sees it a littlle differently to you. It is now fluke that the Warriors made the Grand Final of all 3 comps in 2011 lols...Polynesians make up less then 1% of Australias population...had a look at league and rugby lately?

[SuperPapaturts]

@sydneymassive whata wanka

[poriruaboy13]

[LILxSKUXx]

[NesianSkye]

THATSS TRUE TONGAN TALENT PEOPLE

[teheadz]

talented poly boys end up scracthing our arses sayin to our friends that fulla cuda been me bt ill jst stack this fridge up with the beers hu needs to do that wen we can get wasted aye my bro

[teheadz]

polynesian people are naturally bigger stronger and fitter than what theyre age suggests its hard for smaller players and sumtimes parents to believe such big gifted islander boys are the same age as theyre son. we love the physical contact that rugby league nfl have to offer. polynesians are naturally talented at these sports but we forget that natural talent doesnt get us to the top. hard work and sacrifices need to b made. wea lazy trainers if we dnt need to do xtras we wont thats y so many

[SUKALENY1]

How is old he?

[Dugezz]

1:09 look at the size difference between both wingers haha thats classic

[maecyn100]

get off the wing you bitch

[geezyoursoft]

what the??...parra vs roosters at pentihs' cua stadium??.....these coconuts are dominating the junior rugby league system...fuckn scary at some of the size of these 'boys' !!!!

[KingMicky911]

this guy isnt just a big for nuthing tank, he is amazingly fit and fucking fast!

[TL1ER]

@KingMicky911 Its called steroids mate

[h7p10]

put him in NRL, then ill leave something nice

[Mikorkor]

Kelepi is entering his Junior year in high school starting in February 2011.

WHAT

[sydneymassive]

This "kid" is at least 30. Come on he'll have nothing when they catch up to his size

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive The "kid" is Tongan...some of the biggest people in the world...this may come as a surprise to you but not many people grow like Kelepi...you say "catch up to his size"...even as he is he would be one of the biggest players in the NRL...check out Valerie Adams...Steve Adams...Bowie Tupou...Fuifui Moimoi...etc, etc, etc...they aren't the dimensions of normal human beings...they are Tongans

[longfinnedeeler]

@longfinnedeeler Lols...have you had a look at the NRL lately...I would think over 40% of the NRL and 50% of the Under 20s are Polynesian...there is a reason for that. You should read an article written by Phil Gould about the changing face of the NRL...he has seen the bigger picture...an re only two the players are any good...Valerie Adams is a world champion shot putter...Stevie Adams is a potential NBA player...and Bowie Tupou is a HW boxer lols

[RealmofGenghisKhan]

@longfinnedeeler

yeah I've lived in Australia and now the states. We also see this with American Samoans having a greater per capita record than any other ethnic group in the NFL. There was a nation wide 60 Minutes segment about it. It wasn't surprising that American Samoans were named the world's biggest people by the World Health Organization in 2010

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive Throw Manu Vatuvei, Jonah Lomu, Sione Lauaki in to that mix

[sydneymassive]

@longfinnedeeler out of all those players only 2 are any good.

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive Once upon a time there were literally a handful of Tongans, Samoans and Maori in the NRL...had a look lately...Tallis...Haumono, Hopoate were good players...Vatuvei, Conrad Hurrel (this dude is a beast), Israle Folau, Richard Faaoso, Willie Tonga, Taniela Tuiaki, Feleti Mateo, Paea brothers x 3, Tony Williams, Antonio Kaufusi, Brent Kite, Ukuma Tai, Andrew Fifita, Fishiashii. Polynesians make up less then 1% of Australias population lols

[sydneymassive]

@longfinnedeeler I've seen it before, only good because he's huge.

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive And size has nothing to do with playing league lols e.g. Conrad Hurrell, Manu Vatuvei, Israel Folau, Gorden Tallis, Tony Williams, Paea brothers Xs 3, Solomon Haumono, John Hopoate, Sam Louisi (will play first grade in 2012) and will be the biggest player in the NLR at 6 ft 8 and well over 120 kilos, Ukuma Tai...Polynesians excel at combat sports because of size and strength...over 30 Polynesian players playing NFL Gridiron also

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive Like I said read an article Phil Gould wrote...he lays down the stats of Polynesian players in both Junior and NRL footy...it's overwhelming given Polynesians as a whole only make up less then 1% of Australias population

[sydneymassive]

@longfinnedeeler that is true and it's because they are twice the size of the kids they play against in the junior. This allows them to enter the junior rep and club systems earlier giving them better training and coaches from an earlier age leaving the smaller kids behind.

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive You seem to have missed some pertinet points. Polys are traditionally from lower income homes (majority live in West of Sydney) thus use sport to get off the bottom of the pile...Polys tradtionally gravitate toward contact sports, league, boxing, MMA because they are wired for such sports...they love and excel at collision slash combat sports...re getting the best coaches...the poorest in any country don't usually have the best of anything if they do they probably deserve it.

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive There is a massive difference between being a junior standout and senior standout...you still have to stay the course and show a shit load of dedication and application to become one the games elites...as dozens of Polynesian players have. Size, strength and power is one thing but you have combine that with a whole host of other things...as Phil Gould states very well in the article he wrote re the changing face of Australian rugby league

[longfinnedeeler]

@sydneymassive So Tony Williams is only good because he is huge? Same as Sam Louisi? Same as Manu Vatuvei? Ukuma Tai? Will Hopoate? They don't train? Diet? They are top flight NRL players simply because they are huge huh? They can't pass? Catch? Off load? Lols

[maddgear25]

who this

[TevitaLolomanaia]

He is built solid and moves fast , he's dangerous

[cheek2286]

yea he be about 23 he is playing against people who arent developed

[longfinnedeeler]

@cheek2286 You have obviously never being to Tonga or meet the likes of Sione Lauki, Jonah Lomu, Manu Vatuvei...all of whom were massive units at school. In fact bigger then this guy even.

[Phantom2232]

0:31 sorry, my bad

[Phantom2232]

0:36 what kind of tackle was that for a reserve grade prop? wouldnt want to see him playing nrl

[jk94111]

@Phantom2232 it wasn't reserve grade it was under 16s.

[vipfitasc]

the next moi moi?

[971Jake]

farrr he might not be tall but hes a fucking beast!!! and a gun rugby league player!!!

[PolynesianPower]

@jk94111 - Australian passport good enough for you mate? Nearly all of these boys are born in Australia now. So sick of this 'he's too old' shit from whinging Aussies because Polynesians are taking over the league - I put up with this crap back in the 90s. Solution - Just get better or harden up and stop whinging...

[56chizzy]
