@canes He's gone to Japan and with Tu'inukuafe and Hodgman here he probably isn't coming back.

He wasn't capped by the ABs right? What is he about 30 now? He should declare for Tonga go to the RWC (play in it this time) and then head up to NH.

@nepia Nope, and yes I would expect to see him play for Tonga next year.

Make for a good trivia question.

He’d be the only pacific island representative with a WC winner medal wouldn’t he? And, have never have played for another country.

MJ would meet the first sentence (technically) but not the second.

What's Ryan Coxon like at loosehead?
Other options would include Nic Mayhew, Chris Eves, Jeff Thwaites, Reuben O’Neill, Mitchell Graham (if alive), Ezekiel Lindenmuth, Jared Adams, Pauliasi Manu (if available), and Sam Prattley.

Come to think of it, Daniel Lienert-Brown is off contract too. Good around the field, but not strong in the scrum. Behind Hodgman at Canterbury, and a lesser ball-carrier too.

@dice I think he is quick enough to play wing, so maybe he will need to until his defensive game improves.
@taniwharugby I think we forget how young a player like Tua is. The missed tackles is not good enough but if the Coaches are good enough and he has the courage they can turn that around. Hope they persist and make him the quality rugby player he can be.
-
@kiwimurph and after watching Tua miss 6 x tackles including a blatant miss on Jack Whetton..maybe a bit of heart shrink as well..t

@kiwimurph Great news.
