I always just assumed he had the name "inga" somewhere in the middle of his forename. I thought the apostrophe in Va'aigia perhaps hid another 20 letters. Your version seems correct, but i prefer mine.  |

| Quote: Pemps "This is quite interesting...
In Samoan, the letter G is pronounced as though there is an N before that G, so Ulugia is pronounced UluNGia, Vagana is pronounced VaNGana.
Tongan pronunciation is easier but many disregard the vowels at the end of names. Therefore, Sekope should sound like Sekop-eh, not Sekop-ee.
In Maori, the most common mistake is the pronunciation of words and names starting with the letters Wh, which sounds like F. Not a problem for rugby commentators, but in the NRL Manly's Dean Whare (Far-ay) has had to make it known.
In the Fijian language things get a bit trickier. What is written as C is pronounced as Th, while Qs should sound like Ng. So Rokocoko is pronounced RokoTHoko, and Tuqiri is pronounced TuNGiri.'"
So has everyone been pronouncing Lote Tuquiri's name wrong all this time and it should be Lote Tungiri? |

I always assumed it was due to his surname which is pronounced Tu-inga-mala rather than his forename. It could be either or both I suppose.
Some names from this part of the world have similar pronunciation trip hazards too like the 'mh' in celtic gaelic names such as Niamh and Mhairie which is pronounced as 'v' or the Scots name Menzies (pronounced Mingis) due to a no longer used letter in the Scots alphabet that is today written as 'nz' but is still pronounced. |

I will admit that tonight, so far, they are almost as bad as Eddie was.
The difference is that Eddie was bad because he was biased. Tez and Baz are bad because they're thick. |

They completely bull the most random stats up...example tonight “What a strike rate...54 tries in 90-odd games” referring to Grace, as though its some sort of extra-ordinary feat of brilliance. Personally, I’d say a fairly standard return for a winger in the top 4 teams (not to discredit his all round game as he’s clearly a talented lad).

Yeah for a winger at the best side in the comp during his 90 odd games, that is terrible. |

According to Baz, he is being compared to Martin Offiah

And only Baz, presumably.
They don't half talk some drivel.
As the OP said, listen to the commentary on NRL games, and it enhances your enjoyment of the match. With SL games, I'm always tempted to mute it and do without.

The commentator sounded as he was eating a bag of revels while talking

Joe Burgess has 100 in 114 games for Wigan.
Regan Grace is probably the most overrated player I’ve seen in the history of the game. |

A homeless mans Jason Robinson.
Considering she is a lifelong Saints fan and Saints player, I thought Jodie Cunningham was far more neutral than most of them usually are. |
