Moeakiola was at the Chiefs for one year (2019), but didn't do much. I wonder where Epeli Waqaicece is?

Didn't do much might be an overstatement...
Wasn't it Colin Cooper's decision to sign Moeakiola that saw Reece choose to head overseas (and then eventually end up with the Crusaders)?

Reece had signed to go overseas in early 2018 well before any 2019 Super squads were named and then lost his overseas contract due to assaulting his missus. No team in NZ signed him until the Crusaders Fijian winger got injured so they brought him in as a replacement.

The Canes need wingers, he could be an option but at 28 probably not. Interesting to see Waga Nalaga isn’t with the Turbos this year but Armstrong-Ravula still is.

Yes. All to do with timing.
Cooper said they had added Moeakiola to the squad before winger Sevu Reece had his contract torn up by Connacht following his appearance in court on domestic assault charges. Reece, who was the top try scorer in New Zealand's provincial competition and helped Waikato to promotion to the top tier last week, was discharged without conviction and fined $750.
"With Sevu Reece's contract not coming through with Connacht, we had already committed to him (Moeakiola), so it's unlucky for Sevu to miss (out)," Cooper added. -
Hoping he is actually fit at some stage to play

Cantebury squad announcement. As expected, an extremely solid squad with plenty of depth. Still got some guys named that are long in the tooth but not doubt valuable at this level.
Cant help but think what talent they are blocking from coming through though. Is Willie Heinz really necessary?! The guy turns 38 later this year….

James White and Rameka Poihipi to share 10 duties?
Good for Poihipi's ongoing development.

@Mr-Fish Quite surprised Alex Harford isn’t named. Has he switched provinces with being with the blues widers this year?

Yeah I agree Hienz,Crotty need to move on so they can develop the next tier of players.
Nick Shearer could also cover First five has played a bit there for Christ college. -

He was in an Auckland 'contenders' squad a couple of months ago
