Not sure if it’s been mentioned on here yet but Ngani Laumape is leaving Kobe Steelers after 3 years.

Is he Moana Pasifika’s next big signing?

[SBW1]

@Canes4life If so would that put him in contention for a spot in the All Blacks for the next World Cup? Would be a good pickup for the Highlanders.

[sparky]

@Canes4life I think that it is highly possible.

Is there a reason he hasn't turned out for Tonga yet? Been 5 years since his last game for the All Blacks. All that chat around swapping and hasn't put his money where his mouth is.

Nah. Doesn't fit our recruitment profile.

He wasn't eligible for the last WC, and the Island teams tend to pick fringe players in between world cups.

Anybody got any info where half the Moana squad are off too?

I haven't seen the full list (not on FB) but there was an article before SR started saying that Sama Malolo was rumoured to have signed with Perpignan.

All leaving players are in here. Just swipe on the picture for the next slide.

[Mr Fish]

@Landers92 Looks like a number of their original players are off.

George Dyer is off to Munster

Is this coming from anywhere except an Irish paper suggesting it as a possible signing back in May? I've not seen anything substantive anywhere.

[tomk]

@Mr-Fish ex munster players, but it had been reported in February by the Irish independent

Have heard Quinten Strange and Manaaki Selby Rickit are both off to Japan

Good move for Strange. It's looking unlikely he will ever nail a starting spot at the Saders. His plsce in the squad was probably starting to look a bit tenuous too with his injuries and the emergence of a couple of youngsters.

Opens up a spot for young 20 year old Liam Jack who looks like he will have a bright future.He has good size around 199m and will put on more bulk he sits around 112kgs atm.

That's good to hear.

Strange would have been an AB, but for his untimely ankle injury. The Chiefs need to move on from MSR too.
