Aidan Toua grew up in Port Moresby and after retiring he felt a calling to go back to Papua New Guinea to help young PNG kids change their narrative. For the first show of 2026, Sam & Tinirau chat to Toua about moving to Brisbane as a kid and trying to fit in, overcoming injuries at the start of his career and representing his homeland both on and off the field. We also hear about Tinirau's incredible trip to the Cook Islands over the break, proposed rule changes in the NRL and Sam has a bold prediction for the new Moana Pasifika captain.
