Ngani has tickets on Ngani. Not really a good look eh, I think I see a peek of why he might not have got a proper look in.
Yes but the flipside is it’s always amusing when a player puts a nobody in his place. Morgan Nathan might think twice about critiquing a player online next time.

@MN5 eh? At what point was he "put in his place"?
Yeah maybe not quite but like I said I always enjoy a player taking the time to retort to some nobody having a go at them.
He’d have a field day on the fern that’s for sure. So would any number of AB left wingers not called Jonah or Joe.

Oh very much so when they make themselves look that big of a clown.
Morgan or Ngani ?
I'm really not sure how the nobody has been put in his place or made himself look like a clown by saying one fairy tame, innocuous comment. I think you must be looking at something else.

You know me. I always overanalyse Rugby on this forum.

@Stargazer yeah you'd think some of those that arent looking to play for the ABs will use it as a stepping stone to get a big contract up north.
Shame, as MP & FD could be fantastic and add something different to the comp.
-
@Stargazer Not fussed tbh. It just means someone else gets a chance for a spot and if anything, it spreads the talent pool for Samoa and Tonga.
We saw with the Samoan team in the PNC the benefits MP are having.

@Stargazer said in Exodus:
And .... Moana Pasifika lose another player to the NH. To me, it just looks like the whole purpose of MP is backfiring. How many good players are coming back from the NH to play for MP? At the moment, I see more MP players going to the NH!
Who else has left? The only one I've seen that seems like a big loss is Stowers.
Mauger has said most of the team has been retained.
-
It's only Kata, let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater yet.
But, to be serious, I always assumed there'd be a bit of movement in the team especially in the first couple of years.
As this year was essentially a proof of concept would any player be on a multi year contract with MP?
-
@African-Monkey I don't think it's good for Samoa and Tonga if MP players leave for the NH. Players in the NH have difficulty getting released from their clubs. So if that means that Samoa and Tonga have to select from that wider talent pool you're speaking of, they don't get the best players in their national team, only young rookies or lesser players. And if those young rookies are Kiwis, then they might think twice about playing for Tonga and Samoa, if they (still) have ABs ambitions.
This year, it worked out for Samoa, but will that continue if the current crop of players leave for a big pay day in the NH?
