🇹🇴 WA Inc – Community Congratulations

Tongan WA Inc proudly congratulates Jason Taumalolo as he reaches another historic milestone by becoming the most‑capped North Queensland Cowboys player with 295 NRL games this Friday. A remarkable achievement for one of the greatest forwards of our era and, as Gordon Tallis said on NRL 360, "arguably one of the best two locks the game has ever seen."

We couldn’t be more proud of you, not just for the athlete you are, but how can anyone forget what you started back in 2017 when you chose to represent Tonga instead of Australia. That single decision changed the game forever, and we are witnessing the impact of that courage today.

Go well this Friday, Jason.

God bless, and ‘ofa atu
Western Australia.

New logo looks great and we'll done WATRL. 🇹🇴

🇦🇺🇹🇴Western Australia Tonga Rugby League🇹🇴🇦🇺

Our logo is more than a design - it’s our identity, our culture, our purpose.

🔴⚪ Red & White represent our Tongan heritage.
🟡⚫ Yellow & Black represent Western Australia, the land we proudly stand on.

The three chevrons stand for our core values:

❤️Faka‘apa‘apa (Respect)
❤️Loto tō (Humility)
❤️Tauhi vā (Relationships)

They remind us to honour our culture, stay grounded and protect the bonds that unite us, on and off the field. Their upward direction represents growth, ambition and a future built on strong foundations.

👑At the centre, the crown represents our monarchy, leadership, and heritage. Reminding us that wearing this logo is a privilege, not a right.

This is more than a logo.
This is our story.
This is our pride.
This is WATRL.

Tapu tukulolo - in God we trust 🙌🏾
