Looks to have a younger face than Ratu so 26 sounds about right

| The chances of finding 2 players of Ratu's quality through this route seem slim, but it's definitely worth a shot and I look forward to seeing how he gets on. They must see something there to have given him a trial.
On this subject, whatever happened to the other union convert that spent time with us last year? I forget his name but he was a centre and a big unit iirc.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?: |
|
| It would have been Eldon Myers, but the Navy refused to allow him take up a full time contract.

Hull actually offered Eldon a two year contract if memory serves me well. But as ccs said the Royal Navy sank our chances. Another Radders prospect.

| Yes Eldon Meyers that's right, cheers guys. It's a shame that didn't work out.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Think he's here, I saw a photo on Instagram of all the islanders together and there was someone I didn't recognise so I assume it was him.

| looks significantly bigger than Naulago but a tad slower, his size makes that deceptive, would be a good replacement for Fonua longer term if he works out, as a centre he could be devastating which is where he seems to have played in union XVs.

Yeah that's him, he looks like a big lad fingers crossed he'll make some sort of impact next season, hopefully people won't keep comparing him to Ratu and let him develop at his own pace.

Agreed, Naulago was exceptional, whilst it'd be nice to have a devastating attack threat that rips defences a new one, people need to remember he has never played at the top level of rugby in either code, Marlborough were a sixth tier amateur outfit.
Hopefully his time with the team will show BH what he's about and where his best position might be, if it works out, great, if it doesn't it hasn't cost us anything of note to find out.

| I see he's now [i'Siva'[/i and no longer [i'Ratu'.[/i
At least the union commentators might have more of a chance of pronouncing his surname correctly.
