https://www.facebook.com/100037188217807/posts/1548025973113662/ that's a dozen players departing
Kyren Taumoefolau, rumoured to be heading to the Chiefs and former skipper Sione Havili-Talitui.
The players released include Fine and Lotu Inisi, Neria Fomai, Danny Toala, Michael Curry, Havili-Talitui, Taumoefolau, Pepesana Patafilo, Alamanda Motuga,
Sama Malolo, Aisea Halo, Tomasi Maka, Connor Seve, Irie Papuni and Pone Fa’amausili.
Fa'aumasili, a then-current Wallaby, was supposed to be a big signing for Moana and help shore up their scrum (which, to be fair, was more reliable this year regardless) and he only ended up playing five minutes.
Lol people have only taken notice now because they won a few games. This happens every season.
I also like how people act like we're everyone's 2nd favourite team all of a sudden when virtually no one wanted a bar of us in the first 3 seasons.
@Daffy-Jaffy is sione havili also joining the chiefs
Apart from Havili and Taumoefolau. Seems like all thr other lads were squad players who got limited game time. The correct guys to move on from a team on the up. Good service. Right time to leave.
I’ve just had some big Moana news sent to me… going to double/triple check a few things first before I post names but I can confirm there’s a big signing. Hopefully be back within an hour with a name
It's a shame with Lotu Inisi that Ardie came this year haha. He was a standout last year, and should be playing regularly.
A lot of those players were foundation players too.

Mathis is in discussions with the Crusaders so it’s possible there’s a spot open if that ends up happening

No!!
Just fucking no.
Edit: I’ll be so pissed off if this happens, some of us were arguing he should have got a full contract this year for this reason.
