Melbourne and the Warriors have announced their upcoming trial game will serve as a fundraiser for communities in Tonga impacted by last weekend's volcanic eruption. The Unite for Tonga match will take place at Casey Fields in Victoria on February 19 and is set to feature several players of Tongan descent. Storm pair Felise Kaufusi and George Jennings have Tongan heritage while the Warriors' contingent includes Addin Fonua-Blake, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Eliesa Katoa, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Taniela Otukolo and Viliami Vailea. Tickets for the clash will go on sale on Friday, with fans having the option to make a direct donation. Further initiatives will be announced closer to game day. "Tongans have a proud history in rugby league and with Storm," Melbourne CEO Justin Rodski said.
