49. Fonua Pole | Behind The Roar | Official Wests Tigers Podcast

On this week’s episode of BTR we learn a lot more about 21-year-old middle forward, Fonua Pole.

We chat about preparations for Saturday’s game against the Bulldogs, how some divine intervention helped him switch from Aussie Rules to Rugby League, and he also tells us about his ‘first true love’. 

As debate continues about banning the long kick-off, Fonua says he loves coming off the back fence, and reveals what goes through his mind at that moment just before ‘collision time.  

Of Tongan heritage, New Zealand-born, and raised in Melbourne, Fonua also reveals his entrepreneurial side, telling us about his latest clothing label and the inspiration behind its name, ‘live yourz’. 

All that and more on episode 49 of Behind The Roar.
