"I kept my promise": Ryvrr-Lee Alo balances footy, family and culture

With Cook Island, Samoan and Niuean blood, Ryvrr-Lee Alo's rise in the rugby league world has meant some big decisions already for the 19-year-old. Having played for Cook Islands Moana in 2024, Alo caught the eye of Sam & Tinirau during her debut NRLW season in 2025 with the Eels and shares her footy journey, why she decided to represent Fetu Samoa last year and the family surprises along the way. Sam previews the Fijian Drua season with finals on the cards, Tinirau ponders whether the big boys are losing their value in the NRL with all the rule changes and Singapore is looking more like Sigatoka with Fiji Sevens success.
