Jimmy Tupou
Very cool to see him back for counties. I met him recently as he's been coaching the Tuakau/Onewhero First XV and I'm involved with a team in the same comp, he had them very well oiled and was a nice dude to yarn to, didn't realise who he was until after haha.

@KiwiMurph As a Moana fan and member, I'd be pissed with that.
I can understand Tavatavanawai and Aumua moving on as annoying as it is for us, but to actually develop one of our own from the Islands and then get him poached by a team that certainly doesn't need him, that's just shit, seriously. Defeats the whole purpose of us existing.
-
@African-Monkey I kind of agree with you, but at the end of the season there was talk about MP players not wanting to re-sign. There are more sides to a story. That rumour might be true and Miracle might be one of those players.
-
@Stargazer That seems unlikely given it was Moana that gave him the opportunity and he got a heap of game time.
-
@Chris as much as you want to see him stay at MP , I have a suspicion the Saders don’t muck around when it comes to snapping up talent .
-
@KiwiMurph Agree with this and yes @Stargazer I see what you're saying, but considering he said how proud he and his family were when he joined up with us, especially when they got to see him play live in Apia, I'm gonna say that he was not one of those players.
It was also pointed out that those players were not gonna re sign if Mauger stayed in charge. He has gone now.
Crusaders fans will disagree and say it's fair game and blah blah blah, but they don't need to be taking players from Moana Pasifika. It's a bit low and I really do hope that it doesn't happen.
-
@African-Monkey I hope it doesn't happen either, but again, it's his choice. If he has an offer from MP and an offer from the Crusaders, then it's his decision and his only.
