touring Australian team but he did not take the field. The match was a late addition to the Australian schedule to help raise money for Piki who had taken a long time to recover from his broken leg earlier in the year. The Māori side won the match 12–9 at Alexandra Park. Paki changed clubs once again to begin the 1914 season where he turned out for Gordonton in a seven-a-side competition played on Easter Monday at Claudelands. He played 5 matches for them and scored 3 tries but the side struggled to field a team and either played short or defaulted several matches with Paki's last appearance for them being against St Mary's on June 27. On June 6 he played for the Hamilton side in their match against Goldfields which they lost 9–3. Switch to Rugby League and Move to Auckland At some point in 1915 George Paki made the switch to the rugby league code. It is unclear when he made the move and which team if any he was playing for during the season but on September 11 he played for the Lower Waikato representative team against Auckland in Huntly. He was listed at five eighth and said to be representing the Huntly area. Paki scored a try in a 19–6 win for the Lower Waikato side in Huntly. In 1916 again it is unclear who Paki was playing for during the season but he played for the Lower Waikato side against City Rovers in Auckland. Playing alongside Paki was his brother Huatahi Paki who was just 16 years old at the time and was said to be a St Stephens College Old Boy. City Rovers won the match 13–9. It is likely that the brothers both impressed their opponents as they moved to Auckland for the 1917 season and joined the City side. Paki played 14 matches for them during the season in the Auckland club competition which by this point was in its 8th full season. The City Rovers were one of the founding clubs and had been in existence since 1909. He made his debut against Otahuhu at Otahuhu and scored his one and only try of the season for them against North Shore Albions in round 2. In 1918 Paki played 13 matches for City and was also selected to play in an Auckland trial match between A and B teams. Paki
