Moana Pasifika 2025

Weird signing considering both Tongan 10s Havili and Pellegrini are there with Afa Moleli waiting in the wings.

I'm very happy the Canes didn't sign JGB, he's very limited at Super level.

And I assume D'Angelo Leuila, who played very well for Samoa in the games I watched.

Ah yes forgot to mention him, he gets used more at 12 for Moana though and u assume he'll be used again there or off the bench.

@Canes4life Totally agree was very happy when I saw this. He’s not a bad player but he’s not what we need at the Canes at the moment we already have Cameron taking that position.

Pone Fa'amausili has signed for 2025.

A great signing.

Wonder if we'll get a video of him getting congratulated by all his friends and family.

He's the defence coach?

[mikedogz]

Defence coach, not the head coach.

@African-Monkey Sorry should’ve been clearer for the Lions I mean

[Steven Harris]

Hearing Solomon Alaimalo might be a possible pick up for MP if it has’nt been mentioned already

Yeah a bit frustrating for the Lions. We know we’ve got the cattle just need to make sure the next coach keeps picking the right players. Hopefully the next one is a Harkin fan.

[mikey07]

@Canes4life Yeah 100% and also sticks around for more then a year
