Bula and welcome to TEIVOVO Sports “Breakafast Bites” – a wrap of Pasifika sports highlights for Thursday 16 June 2022.  Former Wallaby great, David Pocock who played 78 Tests for Australia, has created history, being confirmed as the first independent senator in the Australian Capital Territory State Senate yesterday. The 34-year-old, who based his campaign on people and climate change, achieved his goal in politics by unseating a former minister.  “Our campaign was about things that matter to people and about issues and ideas for the future,” Pocock told ESPN. NSW Blues stars Kotoni Staggs and Daniel Tupou could walk away from ORIGIN II after being selected for Tonga.  Here’s the choice they face; make A$15,000 playing for the NSW Blues in ORIGIN II, or earn A$2,000 in allowances playing for Tonga in their upcoming Test. It’s all about national pride versus the cold hard cash. The NRL Women's Premiership will expand to 10 teams in 2023 after the NRL announced four new teams yesterday - the Canberra Raiders, Cronulla Sharks, North Queensland Cowboys and Wests Tigers. The NRLW has more than doubled in size since its inaugural season in 2018. In football - La Liga – the Spanish League, has filed complaints to UEFA claiming Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are in continuous breach of Financial Fair Play rules with the Clubs backed by Qatar’s sovereign wealth fund and Abu Dhabi’s ruling family respectively and financed through fake sponsorship deals. In 1998 Michael Jordan wore a pair of Air Jordan 1s for his last game at Madison Square Garden with the Bulls. Now those sneakers are selling for US$500,000. So remember, don’t throw away your smelly sneakers! For TEIVOVO Sports – I’m Culden Kamea, Malo, vina’a and thank you!
