Exodus
-
Tali Ioasa, ex-Hastings Boys' High School and recent - or soon to be - school leaver, and son of Tafai Ioasa has signed with Kobe Kobelco Steelers. I wonder whether this is a full contract?
Disappointing to see this talented 18-year-old midfielder moving overseas already, although being signed by Kobe this young, seems huge. I hope he doesn't end up playing for Japan in a few years time.

@mikey07 Not an exodus, unless he's signed with an Australian SR franchise. He's signed with another SR franchise.

@Stargazer
Maybe Moana?
I can't see a kiwi franchise signing a 33 year old winger. -
@Stargazer Didn’t know where to post it and wanted to know if anyone had an idea where he’s going to.

Perfectly fine to post it here. The hall monitor can take a breather for once in his life.

Manawatū prop Flyn Yates and Auckland lock Hamish Dalzell have signed with Japanese club Kamaishi Seawaves.
Nathan Mauger is joining the club as assistant coach.

Toni Pulu has signed with Seattle Seawolves.

@Stargazer He will probably still play for the Bay won't he? Seems a good way for those to make a living if they can't quite make a super team to earn enough to make a living.
@Dan54 I don't know. They've used an old photo of Souchon. He played as a replacement player for Southland, this NPC season. He wasn't named in any initial NPC squad as far as I know.
Generally speaking, players can indeed combine playing MLR and NPC.

@Stargazer yep mate , we got a few in the Naki doing it, off the top of my head Jesse Parete (he was doing the double up with Japan club , but moved to MLR) Jasn Potroz, Tom Franklin and I think one or two others. Seems a good life for a player in one way, none of them on big money, but can live on what they earn in both comp.

I've just heard that foster hasn't got a job next year? Anyway in the morning interview before the final in his normal not-at-all-funny way he answered a question about his future saying he's going to mow his lawns (ho-ho-ho, you jester. So respectful to a journo who is only allowed one question). Anyway he did mention as it went off to the next journo that 'it is coaching tho'. I wonder where?

@Machpants Italy would be my guess.

@Machpants Japan is another possibility.
