Player name pronunciations

One big thing that pisses me off that people can't seem to figure out how to pronounce some name of players, especially commentators. However there are some crazy ones out there and I recently purchased the Official NRL Season Guide which provides pronunciation. Not sure how accurate they are but surely there's some validity. Just thought i'd throw a few out there for those who gave a sh*t. Some might surprise you.





Michael Lichaa: Lie-sha

Sam Tagataese: Tung-guh-tah-es-sey

Jake Mamo: May-mo

Manu Ma'u: Mah-oo

Chris Grevsmuhl is pronounced Grev-mull...

Siosiua Taukeiaho (Roosters bench forward): See-wah Toka-owa

Konrad Hurrell: Hurr-ill (Specifically noted that it's not Hurr-elle)

Kevin Naiqama: Na-gar-ma

Ava Seumanufagai: See-you-man-oo-fan-eye





The one that pisses me off the most which isn't hard at all... (Take note Rabs)
