'New Zealand's my home': Roosters star makes Pacific Championships call

Roosters forward Naufahu Whyte has expressed his commitment to the Kiwis, highlighting that his debut for New Zealand last year significantly boosted his performance as he aims for a successful 2025 NRL season.

In a recent match against the Bulldogs, Whyte showcased his skills by scoring two tries, notably overpowering Lachlan Galvin on his way to the try line.

While Whyte is also eligible to play for Samoa and Tonga, he has chosen to represent New Zealand during this year's international competition, underscoring his dedication to the Kiwis.

The upcoming 2025 Pacific Championships will see these three nations compete, with the Kiwis seeking redemption after their previous loss to Tonga.
