P.S Loved Adam Blair's windmilling arm party trick to put on Tolman's try!!!

Potential nicknames for next year

Just a couple of thoughts that have occured. The obvious one would be for under 20s player Maipele Morseau and that would be 'Marcel' The other one requires a bit of explanation. Should Stan Waqa sign with us I had this thought, Waqa sound a lot like the noise that Pacman used to make, unfortunately...

Re: Not over yet . . .

If the situation was reversed, would they be accepting of us suggesting that we had missed the finals because of a loss to them?  By the way raiders fans, I hope you enjoyed the two losses we dished out to you, I know I did!

Anyone now the status of Kali, Fanene, Rogers, Vea and Woolford.  Club already confirmed that Isa, Cahill and McDougall will not be offered contracts.
