That's just what standee used to harp on like

If sources are correct he's signed until the end of 2023. A bit generous for someone who hasn't established himself in the NRL. Hopefully he'll be like Fifita or Garbutt who didn't either.

Radford rarely gets it wrong with overseas players.

You don't think his old mate Motu Tony (General Manager of High Performance at NZRL) might have something to do with his success rate with overseas players?

And here’s me thinking you were such a mercenary your new username might as well have been IR35, Standee.

Satae signing has Motu Tony’s fingerprints all over it.
Similar signing to Carlos and even Mahe.
Players we weren’t aware of, but turned out to be really astute.

Be nice if he’s got a bit of an offload in him, seen very few from the front row this year

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Tue Aug 06, 2019 5:15 pm  

manu mau can offload

Re: Recruitment 2020 : Tue Aug 06, 2019 5:25 pm  

True, but he was talking about the front row.
