SIGNING(S) ALERT ⚠️ . . . ✅ @jarred_adams ✅ @jamiehlane_ ✅ @pattytuips ✅ @blaketgibson . . . All re-signed with @aucklandrugby 🏉 Great to have you on-board for the future and the @mitre10.cup@Tim Really like that we have Adams locked in. He's got some potential.
Was the unsung hero of the NPC final last year. He looks like he's built to only play 20 minutes, but he had to play 95 minutes in the final. He just got better the longer the game went on and was very prominent late in the 2nd half and the extra time period.

Agree re Adams. He was a good pickup from Counties or in fact rugby limbo!
I think Tai Lavea mightve had a bit to do with that. He was very highly touted as a schoolboy. Went slightly down the wrong track for a couple of years but looks to have got himself in a good space now. -

Adams played a couple of years for the Samoa U20s and I think Alama was a technical advisor for the team while he was coaching Manu Samoa.

Yea youre right there. Also in that same Samoa U20s side was Salesi Rayasi.

Is he still playing for Auckland this year?

I forgot who said it, but I just remember someone saying he was back this year.

@Nogusta That was the first time I ever saw Rayasi play and he was playing at fullback for them. I think Adams was captain of that squad.

I saw Rayasi play for St Pats Silversteam in the 2014 Wellington schools final against Scots (or was it 2015...?)
He gave away a schewwwwpid penalty in the last minute which cost them the game! Real coach killer.
He has rebounded well! -
@Tim Good to see. Hopefully he's still with Auckland.
I see that Levi Aumua is playing off the bench for Eden.
Salesi Rayasi is also playing at fullback for Marist.
Dillon Halaholo is playing hooker for Suburbs. He might be a hooker option for Auckland this year.

@Dice I would be diappointed if they picked Halohalo for Auckland after his disturbing conviction -
