Tongan rugby league coach Kristian Woolf has hilariously revealed the reason that Jason Taumalolo missed the squad's initial flight to their homeland - the superstar was too heavy for the plane.
Taumalolo, 24, will link up with the Tongan squad later today, having not travelled with his teammates yesterday.
Speaking to 1 NEWS, Woolf explained the reason for his star man's absence.
"We all got on the plane... then they decided that there was too much weight on the plane," he said.
"They had to offload a couple of guys and unfortunately, one of those was Jason."
"It was a funny one."
