@steven-harris heard a rumour they signed Ray Niua? and couple others from manawatu, including Tietie Tuimauga but he decided to take off to Connacht

[BerhamporeNinja]

@steven-harris some great talent right there!

[Steven Harris]

@berhamporeninja

The Niua signing would make sense
Here’s an updated list

What I have managed to dig up so far

Moana Pacifika

Sekope Kefu
Christian leliiafano
Henry Stowers
Solomone Funaki
Sione Tuipulotu
Eri Enari
Lolagi Visnia
Lincoln McClutchie
Alamanda Motuga
Jordon Lay
Jack Lam
Mike McKee

[Nepia]

I wonder if McClutchie is PI qualified of if he's one of their non PI players?

[Steven Harris]

@nepia good question , i would imagine Mike Mckee comes into that category as well, is a counties manukau boy , mum is a Cook Islander .

So the team can pick up any islanders, not just Samoa and Tonga? But I assume not Fijians?

[Steven Harris]

@nepia have heard a few from a source that Timoci Tavatavanawai has been signed by MP..that woukd be a huge signing a great for Fijian Rugby , thought the Drua might have been a better fit , but a very good snare for MP

[Bovidae]

What about Jonathan Taumateine? Maybe he has been re-signed with the Canes after Roigard's injury and Campbell rumoured to be going to France.

[Steven Harris]

@bovidae mate i am exhausting all my sources ..some of the names i have heard are pie in the sky stuff, some i have cross referenced and have got the the thumbs up on .
Heard Neria Fomai name bandied around as well, just no confirmation
MP will bevdrip feeding names over the next few days

[Bovidae]

@steven-harris If we were guessing, some of the older Samoan and Tongan players that have returned from overseas this year would be good options. That's why I suggested Lam. Nasi Manu would be another veteran who would add value.

[Kiwiwomble]

@bovidae definitely, nasi looked really good for Otago in the NPC last year, still had a lot to add and a great leader and obviously played for MP last year

'source' is not a word in the TSF dictionary.

[mikey07]

@crucial shall I just stick to sauces instead….was merely curious as to the excuse Holland has for not nabbing McClutchie again.
