Had a quick chat with Ramsey Tomokino , I mentioned the names that have I have seen on the forum and he confirmed most were correct apart from Ma Nonu who has decided to take a contract in the MLR .
He could not confirm the launch date , but once he gets it he will get back to me.
I did mention all these lads and was in agreementSekope Kefu
Christian leliiafano
Henry Stowers
Solomone Funaki
Sione Tuipulotu
Eri Enari
Lolagi Visnia
Lincoln McClutchie
Alamanda MotugaAlso mentioned Sam Slade , and he was definitely on their radar .
Anybody heard anything..? -
@steven-harris So James McOnie saying they had "plundered the Hawke's Bay Magpies" is true! Four of them in that list!

Is Danny Toala off contract?
You'd think Neria Fomai will be in the mix.
-
@stargazer it appears so , will not surprise me if they have an eye on Neria Fomai as well.
-
@dice Danny Toala was only re-signed for one year (2021) by the Canes and I've heard nothing about him re-signing, but that doesn't mean he hasn't. Hurricanes' comms has seriously deteriorated since they appointed a new media person.
Toala and Fomai are indeed both names you'd expect to be in the mix.

Do you mean for the Hurricanes or the MP team? If you are meaning the former then that would be a surprise as that would mean the WRFU controlled Hurricanes outfit would not be able to shovel in a couple more stock standard schoolboy superstars they unearth from outside of their supposed Lower North Island catchment area.

@kiwimurph Yeah, even with the talent that the Canes had in their squad, it just didn't make sense that he didn't get more opportunities. That one game against the Blues in which he played next to PU-J was great. Why they didn't try that more often (even with Toala coming off the bench) is beyond me. Toala and PU-J looked like they could potentially be a lethal combo. Now even PU-J doesn't get many starts anymore.
The mysteries of Hurricanes' selections ...Toala has been good for the Bay, this season. I hope he gets another shot at Super Rugby.
-
@stargazer hes always had a rep as being a bit of a tool through school and appears to have carried that through to the pro ranks. That might have something to do with it. All the talent in the world but not quite the mental fortitude...yet.

Alamanda MotugaThat’s a good start with those signings.
-
@steven-harris heard a rumour they signed Ray Niua? and couple others from manawatu, including Tietie Tuimauga but he decided to take off to Connacht
-
