Moana Pasifika 2024

I guess for MP being more of a mix of PI players, probably lacks a bit of identity, while the Drua are at least on the surface, a Fijian team.

They are moving their base to North Harbour Stadium. Home venue(s) are still to be announced.

Why the fuck are MP signing an old englishman?
I don't think they should be allowed to waste their 20% on journeyman from overseas.
I wondered that, but guess they haven't got a line of players wanting to come in??

@mikedogz I hope that remaining home game will be played in Tonga or Samoa, but if it won't, I hope it will be in Napier. Not holding my breath.
It is an international venue.

@Duluth said in Moana Pasifika 2024:
Julian is a bit shitty with the Canes
Good that he's still got the fire in his belly
But based on NPC form his time is up. Esp as a wing. Maybe he can make it as a 2nd 5 but even for center he seems too slow.
It does seem like the Canes stuffed up with letting him know though but understandable with a new coach being appointed. And Julian in the, at best, 50/50 category.

@Bones said in Moana Pasifika 2024:
@Duluth sounds a tad entitled eh, be interesting to know if he actually sought clarification or just sat back and expected a contract in the mail.
I don't see why he should be pissed, he's a perfect fit for MP and vice versa.
It’s not a great look to complain when he’s not even a definite NPC starter now. Maybe there was some miscommunication.. verbally promised a contract that never came?
I doubt the Canes would deliberately fuck him around though. They will want to keep his brother happy

James Lay to captain Moana Pasifika

They were worried about an empty embankment when they ended up looking at empty seats with 5 spectators on that side. If they were a permanent tenant Counties would find the money to have it up to standard.
