It's something Josh Hodgson will never forget and something he hopes he can do again - visiting the village of former Canberra Raiders teammate Kato Ottio. The Great Britain Lions squad paid their respects to Ottio, who tragically died after training in Papua New Guinea almost two years ago. It was also an emotional day for ex-Raider Blake Austin, who said not being able to attend Ottio's funeral in January 2018 was one of his regrets. Austin, Hodgson and Elliott Whitehead were all teammates of the former Kumul and were able to visit Tatana Island as part of the Lions squad playing PNG in Port Moresby on Saturday. The rugby league world was in shock when Ottio died, with both the Raiders and the Widnes Vikings - who he was meant to join just weeks after his death - raising money to help Ottio's dream come true.
