          Fa'aumasili, a then-current Wallaby, was supposed to be a big signing for Moana and help shore up their scrum (which, to be fair, was more reliable this year regardless) and he only ended up playing five minutes.

            @Mr-Fish had a real rough run with injuries. Will be interesting to see if he gives Australia another crack

              Lol people have only taken notice now because they won a few games. This happens every season.

              I also like how people act like we're everyone's 2nd favourite team all of a sudden when virtually no one wanted a bar of us in the first 3 seasons.

                  Apart from Havili and Taumoefolau. Seems like all thr other lads were squad players who got limited game time. The correct guys to move on from a team on the up. Good service. Right time to leave.

                    I’ve just had some big Moana news sent to me… going to double/triple check a few things first before I post names but I can confirm there’s a big signing. Hopefully be back within an hour with a name

                      It's a shame with Lotu Inisi that Ardie came this year haha. He was a standout last year, and should be playing regularly.

                      A lot of those players were foundation players too.

                        I’ll have to wait for tonight/tomorrow . My apologies. I jumped the gun a little.

                                      Kyren Taumoefolau, rumoured to be heading to the Chiefs and former skipper Sione Havili-Talitui.

                                      One of the things I most dislike in footy is seeing my Ta$man boys heading to the Chiefs!

                                      would be surprised if havilli moving to chiefs , with mathis ,sa and smith lots of potential oming through

                                      Mathis is in discussions with the Crusaders so it’s possible there’s a spot open if that ends up happening

                                      No!!
                                      Just fucking no.

                                      Edit: I’ll be so pissed off if this happens, some of us were arguing he should have got a full contract this year for this reason.

                                        He’s playing club rugby in Christchurch again today. Blindside this time
