[george33]

@steven-harris pretty sure James lay is still signed for blues if over injuries and kata up in the air like to c him in blues with RTS

@stargazer said in Pasifika SR team:

@steven-harris

Prop: Joe 'Apikotoa (unless the Chiefs have signed him)

Midfielder: Josiah Maraku (if he is PI eligible), Orbyn Leger, Ray Nu'u

You can take Stacey Ili off your list. He has re-signed with the Rebels.

Leger has gone to Japan.

@steven-harris what bout kaitana Vai or Felix kalapu and even Ekuasi can't c them making blues maybe vai

[Stargazer]

@george33 Isn't Ekuasi Fijian? Maybe more a potential signing for the Drua, if true.

[Steven Harris]

@george33 from what i understand Kitione Vai and Vaiokini Ekuasi have both been signed by the Blues ..i did put down Felix Kalapu down as an option on an earlier post

[mikedogz]

@crucial said in Pasifika SR team:

If Kitone Vai has signed for the Blues is that a develop contract or Full.
If it’s full does than put any credence to the Sam Nock rumour of signing with the Chiefs ?.

[Steven Harris]

@chris both these 2 are loose forwards , not entirely sure if they are full contracts , but i do know the Blues are very keen to retain them both , be similar to Soane Vikena (hooker ) who was signed last year
I would expect both Kitione Vai & Vaiokini Ekuasi along with Corey Evans to be locked in .
Still have not heard any further news on Sam Nock

Ok cheers ,For some reason I thought Vai was a HB,
Confused myself there.

[ARHS]

Zane Kapeli?

[george33]

@steven-harris what you hearing about Niko Jones I herd from a waitemata source he's signed but good news bout Vai and Ekuasi can't let those boys go

[Daffy Jaffy]

[Steven Harris]

@george33 heard a rumour that he has picked up an MRL contract ,but very 3rd hand info

[george33]

@steven-harris yeah could b on to something Steve let's hope he stays untaped potential so tho great to c lots boys resigning for blues including our potential captain Tom

[Steven Harris]

@george33 made a couple of calls , this is how it plays out , if Niko Jones has not secured a contract with MP hes of to the MRL ..looking at the looseforward mix they already have , seems he might be USA bound ..

[george33]

@steven-harris that would b disappointing seems to never have got look in with current Auckland coaches of last 3 years but the talent keeps turning up I guess
