Pasifika SR team

@bovidae Manu Paea locked in , could be number 3?
-
@steven-harris Paea is a useful prospect as he also plays midfield so great cover on a bench.

This team is actually shaping up to be better than i thought. Still not sold on the whole eligibility thing but eh.
I think they stand a good chance of knocking off the Tahs, Rebels and Force.
Why? In reality, they have similar eligibility rules to NZ. They just happen to be based in NZ for financial reasons.

@nepia What is happening regards to rep duties, can the y still choose to represent the Wallabies or All Blacks?
This has been discussed multiple times throughout this thread.
Obviously the all ready played for the PIs can't (and they seem to be a large portion of signings so far). The spaces for non qualified for the PIs are limited. The grey area is for PI qualified who have represented the PIs yet (like Ere Enari, Danny Toala), but representing MP doesn't lock you into a PI.

although someone posted earlier, this is something they are trying to get made into a thing so this ties them to Tonga/Samoa (they didnt mention Cook Islands though I dont think...) not sure how that'd work though.

It would be impossible wouldn't it? It's not a National body.

@nepia yeah no idea, I expect so, plus I think if it did they would stop some of the young guys on the fence from signing, not to mention (I edited after) Cook Islands, would that mean you play for MP you get to choose which of the 3 teams you play for...

Haha, yeah Orbyn Leger will qualify for all of the teams.
I'm unsure if Toala or Enari would sign for them if it locks them into Samoa. They're both pretty far away from the ABs currently but that can change pretty quickly.

Lock in all of these guys
Jonathan Taumateine
Manu Paea
Sam Slade
Ezekiel Lindenmuth
Tima Fainga’anukuThere is apparently up to 8 Hawkes Bay players according to my source ..
What’s the run count at the minute ..? -
Thus far, we have 6:
Enari
McClutchie
Fomai
Funaki
Toala
VisiniaMaybe 'Apikotoa and Kaifa? Unless they've managed to sign IWL, too, and he hasn't re-signed with the Canes?
Don't think Kianu Kereru-Symes is PI eligible, but McClutchie isn't either ... Same with Namatahi Waa.
-
@stargazer I was thinking about all the guys you mentioned
They still need at least 2 more props , another hooker , Slade is more of a utility IWL would be very handy having a bit of size and bulk in the middle row -
@steven-harris I would assume that Siua Maile could be the last hooker spot for them?
-
@african-monkey not sure .
