@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

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.

Zane Kapeli?

@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

Isn’t that the team Ric Salizzo is consultant for?

[Stargazer]

@crucial Yep.

[Daffy Jaffy]

Isi Tu’ungafasi ( Ta$man) departs the Crusaders to join our Moana Pasifika kāinga and links up with his former New Zealand Under 20 teammate Tau Koloamatangi (Otago).

It's too bad Stacey Ili is with the Rebels, because he has such good chemistry with Toala and the outside backs at HB. Not sure if there are many centres available to MP that have his linking ability.
