Moana Pasifika 2026

Sounds like Jimmy Tupou will land at Moana in 2026.
-
Proximity to his son will likely get Peni across the line at MP.
-
@SouthernMann Northland also a possibility for NPC in 2026 as the Taniwha coach had Faletoi at New England in the MLR

Would be a good get for Northland. What about going back to CM?
From a Highlanders perspective, it could mean Tayne Harvey will get a decent look at the 12 jersey for the Stags.
-
@SouthernMann that’s a good point as he does have ties to CM I do know he has whānau in the Manukau & West Auckland area
Personally as much as I would love to see Faletoi up at Northland I hope he stays with the Stags ,looks like he’s enjoying his time in the deep south it still beggars belief that his obvious talent up this way was overlooked simply because of perception . -

Five halfbacks?
Thought four bookers at the Chiefs was bad...
I think there's only four listed.
Ah, well, that's fine then... Will see myself out.

Dominic Ropeti over a likely Hurricanes WTG contract?
I'd suggest the Canes have preferred Bason over Ropeti in their WTG. They will also need to carry an extra 7, likely Cooper Flanders.
-
@Canes4life It was more a comment about accepting a full contract over a WTG spot. Silly not too.

Oh yeah definitely, I think he's made the right move there.
