Apologies in advance... watch the stories at your own discretion! 😂
Just a few snaps and videos added to stories that have been dropped into the team WhatsApp over the last 3–4 days.

We’re not entirely sure what some of them were up to 🤔... and to be honest, We probably don't want to know. There are definitely a few questionable decisions & some suspicious behaviour 🤣

But the main thing is everyone had a great time, made some memories and somehow survived to tell the tale!

Enjoy... and remember, what happens on tour stays on tour... unless someone posts it in the WhatsApp group 📸😂🍻

This one deserved to be added on its own 🤦🏻‍♀️

Kobe Uata!
Huge congratulations on making the ANZMRL U15 Tama Tournament team. What a proud moment for you and your whānau.

To hear from Mum and Dad that you put in the mahi and got the goods is something special.
Success like this doesn't happen by accident. It’s earned through hard work, sacrifice, discipline and believing in yourself when no one is watching.

We are incredibly proud to support such a driven and inspiring young athlete. You've earned this opportunity and now it's your time to go out there, enjoy the journey and show everyone what you're capable of.

Keep your feet grounded, your standards high and your heart in the game.

Mahi hard. Stay humble. Dream big.

Mission complete: everyone made it home safe and sound.

Things caught today:
✅ Fish
✅ Pigs
✅ Stags
✅ Colds
✅ Wet asses

Things not caught:
❌ Common sense (for going out in that weather!)

For a day that looked more suited to ducks than hunters and gatherers the turnout was absolutely awesome.

Thanks to everyone who braved the weather, had a laugh and made it another great BIG 3 event.

We know everyone deserves a break but if there’s one group who truly deserve this long weekend, it’s our staff.

Often their hard work and efforts go without recognition but please know we appreciate every single one of you. 💛🖤

To all our customers, friends and whānau - thank you for supporting local and supporting us.

We wish everyone a safe, relaxing and enjoyable long weekend.

Please look after yourselves and each other.

Wishing our young gun Kobe Uata all the very best as he takes the field with the Waiariki U15’s squad at the Aotearoa New Zealand Māori Rugby League tournament this weekend.

Kobe is one of our own. The proud son of our hard-working truck driver George. We hope you put in the same hard mahi on the field as your papa does every day on the job.

Play hard, back yourself and enjoy every moment Kobez.
You’re already a legend to us.

All the best from your ITM whānau.
