@willtosucceed0: Moments That Matter – Episode 6 🏉 In Episode 6, Hop reflects on one of the biggest moments of his career—his debut in Round 10, 1993 against Canberra. He shares a simple but powerful lesson on dealing with nerves: don’t focus on the opposition, focus on yourself. Instead of worrying about how good the other team is, concentrate on what you need to do. Trust your preparation, back your ability, and focus on controlling what you can. Hop also speaks about what it meant to represent Tonga in rugby league. Pulling on that jersey meant everything—not just to him, but to his family and his heritage. It was an opportunity to represent his people with pride and honour. There are some great life lessons in this episode that go far beyond rugby league. 🎥 Watch Moments That Matter – Episode 6 now and let us know what resonated with you most.

He was a crazy man in his days 😂 but an amazing father. To have 4-5 sons make it to the NRL is elite and a testament to him and his wife's hard work.
