@steven-harris
don lifting in that photo
havent seen him play live in years . he likes to carrying and hits hard very physical , i would expect him to improve considerately from all blacks game where he had hardly been training wouldnt have been surprised if he had only been going to club training and stuff all else. one of those kids who just never got a break when younger will be very interested how he goes with a full time gig.

@dice apparently Sam Slade signed for Stade Montois is the French Pro D2 but then back fliiped due to ‘family reasons’ in NZ. Potentially this means a super rugby team has picked him up. Hopefully MP?

[Steven Harris]

Lolo looks more than useful

[Stargazer]

The next Moana Pasifika Magpies signings:

[Kiwiwomble]

@stargazer all jokes aside the canes v MP game should be played in Napier

[Nepia]

Any Super rugby unsigned Magpies player must be furiously searching their family trees for a PI grandparent at the moment.

[Stargazer]

@kiwiwomble The sad thing is, there aren't many Magpies in the Hurricanes squad left, with also Gareth Evans moving back to the Landers.

Confirmed for the Canes are Pouri Rakete-Stones and Devan Flanders. Not sure Isaia Walker-Leawere has re-signed, and he is exactly one of the Magpies who could sign with MP.

Is Ili still under contract for the Rebels?

[Kiwiwomble]

@stargazer was more thinking the canes historic catchment, there has to be canes and magies fans that want to watch their players and their team clash

[Stargazer]

@nepia IWL, Josh Kaifa and Joe 'Apikotoa are the obvious ones. Fringe Magpie Anzelo Tuitavuki is another.

@kiwiwomble what players the Canes should’ve signed vs players that shouldn’t of been?

Yes, he has re-signed with the Rebels.

[mikey07]

@stargazer I wonder if he’s kicking himself could’ve had a contract with MP

ok, maybe its just me, i'll always support the Landers even when i dont rate the current squads and generally always have a soft spot for Otago players that have gone on elsewhere

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 I don't think so. His brother is a professional basketball player who plays for Melbourne United. So this may be a family-oriented choice.

not to mention a possible HB MP backline of 9-10-12-13-14-15

[mikey07]

@stargazer fair enough then, I didn’t even put 2 and 2 together with his brother.

[Stargazer]

@stockcar86 Yeah, was just going over the names:

A possible MP backline (based on where they've played before):

9 Enari
10 McClutchie
11/13/14 Fomai
12 Leali'ifano
13 Taefu? Fine Inise?
14/11/15 Visinia
15/12 Toala (don't think he's ever played at centre, but maybe he'd be great there)

Not sure what Henry Taefu's preferred position is, 12 or 13.
Fine Inise is a wing/13, but I expect him to be lower in the pecking order than Fomai and Visinia.

[Steven Harris]

Timoci Tavatavanawai i believe has been signed ,
Just wondering what their other outside back options are .
