I was worried he wasn't a league player but just read somewhere he came through NZ warriors youth system,
in which case he'll do for me..

Edit

Wikipidea

"Cup.[2] He made his debut for Samoa's sevens team at the 2015 Dubai Sevens.[3] Hunapo-Nofoa made the Warriors development squad after high school"

So he is a League player of sorts.. Looks very quick.

Can we have some tough Championship forwards to lay the platform now????

Interesting. Good to get somebody on board on a proper contract, and I'm guessing its these kind of slightly left field options which are the best gambles/value options available to us.

I'd still like to see Campbell given a run at 1 first, injuries permitting, and Thomas did well last week.

Forwards next please.

He'll be very good in attack but wanting in defence, the Bulls have had a few of those over the years

I'm going to assume that Toovey and Lowe know what they're doing when they sign untapped talent. He certainly looks a handful in attack but it would be interesting to see he is covering defence.

On attack he reminds me of a young Robbie Paul.Hope he turns out as good.I wish him all the best.

On the plus side he's got a great sidestep and good pace.

On the minus side he looks a bit of a titch and those games were 7s where there is tons of space.

Would prefer we signed some tough forwards.

When I first read the headline I thought it said 7 players! What a name this guy has

How do you know he will be wanting in defence?

Re: Bulls sign Samoan sevens player : Wed Feb 08, 2017 5:14 pm  

Two questions: When will he be here and does he count on our overseas quota being Samoan?
