The Toa Samoa squad for this year's Pacific Championships features a strong contingent of players who were involved in the NRL Telstra Premiership grand final.
Five of these players come from the Penrith Panthers, as reported by penrithpanthers.com.au.
Unfortunately, one of the Panthers' key players, Jarome Luai, will not be able to participate due to a shoulder injury he sustained in their victory over the Broncos.
As a result, new faces such as Daejarn Asi and Karl Oloapu, along with Crichton, are expected to step up and fill the void in the halves position.
Despite this setback, the Toa Samoa squad remains formidable and is expected to be competitive in the Pacific Championships.
The inclusion of players with grand final experience will undoubtedly bring a wealth of knowledge and skill to the team.
Fans of Toa Samoa can look forward to an exciting tournament as they showcase their talent and fight for victory.
