I remember it specifically this time.

I was sitting with Mason Joseph Tarponet at the back of the room, and I was looking around.

You had your little pockets, and naturally –

Polynesian players mingle together.

You know, you might have Teddy, Ches, Egan Butcher, some of the Roosters boys that play together, but also Aussie boys just naturally, they just mingle together.

And then you've got a few mixed tables or whatever.

You know, you could see at the Polynesian table with Junior Bolo, I think Josh Papali, he was there.

I'm trying to think of some other guys.

Jermaine Asako has come and played.

And you could see that he had a bit of a presence about him.

So he's got to be a huge draw card.

Like he was holding the table.

He's holding the table.

Yeah.

I would just go, this would just be a guess, but I would say they're closer to us than anywhere else.

Yeah.

They're closer to the north, which is like-

There's no drama at all.

If it was introduced, say, 30 years ago, Queensland, coming from Queensland, Origin would have been a part of it.

Rugby League would have been a part.
