A coaching team of Sonny Bill Williams and the Johns brothers, Andrew and Matthew, could have a similar impact for Toa Samoa as Jason Taumalolo and Andrew Fifita’s decision to play for Tonga and has received support from International Rugby League chairman Troy Grant. With almost as many eligible players to draw on as Queensland, Samoa is considered the sleeping giant of the international game and the Johns brothers are keen to work with Williams to help the Pacific nation realise its potential. The trio have discussed their desire to work together for Samoa and Spencer Leniu, who is among seven members of Penrith’s top of the table squad with Samoan heritage, believes their involvement would be a drawcard for players, possibly including Josh Papali’i and Nelson Asofa-Solomona.
