Talofa, Ma’lele’i, Bula and welcome to Season 05 Episode 17 of Breakfast Bites, the FIJI & PACIFIC SPORTS NEWS PODCAST, by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on a cloudy Tuesday morning 18 April 2023.
Coming to you from paradise, on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!
In rugby union: Super Rugby Pacific games this weekend: The Chiefs host the Fijian Drua in Hamilton on Friday evening, followed by the Rebels against the Crusaders, the Blues versus the NSW Waratahs at Eden Park on Saturday at 7.05pm and then the Force-Highlanders somewhere way out west.
In rugby league: Canberra Raiders star Jack Wighton has shocked Kangaroos and New South Wales Blues fans by quitting rep footy just two months after celebrating his 30th birthday.
And this after he stunned his Club last month by announcing he was turning down his player option for 2024 to try the open market.
Canberra responded with a four-year deal worth A$4.4Million but that’s still sitting on the table, with a host of Clubs, led by the Dolphins, interested in his services.
Several Clubs are claiming that the NRL is scared to “censor” Canterbury Bulldogs GM and Channel NINE TV guru, Phil Gould for his comments made on television and social media recently.
Gould, who is considered one of the smartest minds in the game, isn’t afraid to say what he really thinks about the game’s big talking points, with the NRL often in the firing line.
In football: Lionel Messi scored again in Ligue 1 yesterday for PSG, marking his 495th goal across Europe’s top leagues – Spain, Italy, Germany and France, except in the Premier League where the Argentine star has never been tested, unlike Cristiano Ronaldo who has scored as many goals in England, La Liga and Serie A before moving to play in Saudi Arabia.
In SportsBiz: With an average purchase price of US$668, Game 1 of the first-round showdown in Sacramento between the Kings and Golden State Warriors is the priciest NBA playoff ticket ever, apart from the NBA Finals.
The most expensive tickets are a whopping US$2,496 for two tickets nowhere near courtside.
In Boxing: Fake boxer Jake Paul has announced he will return to the ring on 06 August against UFC legend Nate Diaz in a 84Kg boxing fight in Dallas, Texas.
This after his first loss — a split decision to Tommy Fury in Saudi Arabia in February.
Fury was the first real boxer Paul had fought after his early fake fights included wins against a fellow YouTuber, an ex-NBA player and former UFC fighters like 50-year old Anderson Silva.
Fake, fake, fake what else can I say?
