Cooks Islands have confirmed their 21-man squad for the upcoming 2024 Pacific Championships against Fijiย andย Papua New Guinea.
The squad consists of several current and former NRL players, including Davvy Moale, Mason Teague, Xavier Willison and Tepai Moeroa as the team looks to advance into the Pacific Championships tournament by winning the 2024 Pacific Bowl title.
However, they will be without star outside back and fullback Kayal Iro, who is unavailable for selection due to injury and will miss the entire 2024 Pacific Championships.
Recently retired forward Zane Tetevano has also been named as well as Super League star Esan Marsters - he is hoping to return to the NRL and a great showing in the tournament may provide this chance.
