Hayne remarked on Monday, “It’s awesome.”
“We watched the 2008 World Cup team documentary while driving to the airport yesterday. The squad was following us around the village. 16–17 years has been a long journey.

Wise Kativerata, the Fijian coach, brought Hayne in.
He initially believed I was making a joke. However, consider his accomplishments in rugby league. Furthermore, we want him to be involved since he is a Fijian guy. It’s fun for him.
“His performance on the football field is something the players admire.”
“To have him here and help out with the young fellas in the team, it will be very good for them.”
