Summary
Malo and welcome to Season 2 Episode 37 of Breakfast Bites by TeivovoSports.com – a wrap of Pasifika Peoples sports on this bright and sunny Saturday morning 06 August 2022 – coming to you from the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Blockbusting Parramatta Eels Wing, Maika Sivo scored two tries in the opening eight minutes to stun a sold-out Brookvale Oval last night, then his fellow Fijian Bati, Waqa Blake scored a sensational try of the season contender for the Eels emphatic 36-20 win over Manly.
Parramatta now moves above the Brisbane Broncos into fifth on the NRL ladder.
Our world famous tips for The Rugby Championship starting tonight in Mendoza, Argentina, Los Pumas to juju the Wallabies and in the deepest darkest jungles of Africa, the Springboks to bubu the All Blacks. Remember to always gamble responsibly; better still don’t gamble at all.
To our Commonwealth Games 2022 Pasifika Peoples Wrap – in the light of Eileen Cikamatana’s record breaking gold medal win in weightlifting in Birmingham, more and more facts – and I stress FACTS, about how her Coach, Paul Coffa selfishly engineered her move from Fiji to Australia are emerging.
And only because his brother was Head of Weightlifting Australia at the time, and World Weightlifting is currently and has been in a huge mess, mired in corruption for a while now – the issue of how Paul Coffa got her to represent Australia will never be fairly addressed and resolved by the sport.
Don’t get me wrong, no one in Fiji holds any grudges against Eileen Cikamatana.
On the contrary, they are all very proud of her achievements so far, and more to come on the world stage next year.
But like New Zealand and Australia in rugby over many years, taking players from Fiji, Samoa and Tonga to play for them – cunning officials can easily manipulate young sports people from the pacific, especially like once-in-a-lifetime talent, Eileen Cikamatana to change countries.
I’ll leave it at that for now.
