Clayton’s call-up to the Samoan squad for this year’s tournament came after a breakout season with the Sea Eagles where he covered just about every position in the backline.

After being an unused reserve in group games against France, PNG and Tonga, Faulalo finally got some game time, earning his international debut, at the back end of Samoa’s semi final loss to the Kangaroos.

He joins a growing list of players to represent Samoa while playing for the Sea Eagles, including the likes of Martin Taupau, Frank Winterstein, and Josh Aloiai.

Clayton scored eight tries in 14 appearances for Manly last season and is widely expected to feature prominently in 2027.

Faulalo and several other Manly players on World Cup duty will return for pre-season training mid-December.
