Tonga appeal
The devastation looks dreadful. Do we know if Hosea Saumaki has managed to get through to his family and how they are?
I haven’t heard yet of any appeal from the DEC but is there any way that we can support the people of Tonga and show our support for HS particularly? I know he’s not been with us long but I also think we already know what an asset he is to our club. I vaguely remember an appeal from Scott Hamilton after the earthquake in New Zealand so perhaps there is something similar.

Re: Tonga appeal
Be great if we can, like we stepped up for Kevin Sinfield’s effort, can help.
Must be a huge worry being here playing for Tigers while family and friends are in such a desperate situation.
Good luck with the fund.

Re: Tonga appeal
That is indeed good news. Do we know yet about Hosea’s family? Must be so worrying for all Tongans
Re: Tonga appeal
Unfortunately not at the moment. Incredibly tough mentally to carry on playing and training with that hanging over their heads.

Re: Tonga appeal
There’s an update on Hosea’s gofundme page (no apology for repeating the link here https://gofund.me/cf0b19b0). With the money raised so far he hopes to fund restore 7 seaside villages and is arranging to send the money via his brother in Tonga. Not too late to donate!
