Tepai Moeroa off to Rugby Union

Daily Telegraph reporting Tepai Moeroa is close to signing with the NSW Waratahs for next year.

Moeroa joins Taka, Mannah, Alvaro & a few others who are very unlikely to be here next year.

The clean out of par average players continues...

We will surely have a lot of cap space to chase some decent players and have a seriously formidable team for next year. Fingers crossed. Very pleased to see BA, O Neil & the club are finally making the right calls in regards to the playing roster. Things are looking up.

  • It only took a spoon year for BA to realise that we need an overhaul. The writing was on the wall in 2017 despite us winning. I'm still pissed off that BA didn't see the downfall coming.

    • BA has admitted several times that he was very stubborn heading into last year. But he’s definitely changed his approach for 2019 and you can see how. The team currently sits in the 8 and all the deadwood is being shown the door and we are actually linked to good players and not duds.

      • I don't think you could say Tepai Moeroa was deadwood, that's a bit harsh.

        • It’s a reality. He tries hard but how many times have we had to go down to 16 in a game cause he’s had a HIA

          • That's hardly his fault.

    • No one did, and don't say you did.

      • I did Brett, and I remember arguing with you about it as well. I remember how much you defended our lean and mobile forward pack, and how well they worked as a unit despite possessing no clear individual superstar forwards. I warned that if we didn't beef up we'd be in trouble. Look what happened.

          • That game along with Broncos one at ANZ were the only 2 games that year when we played like a bonafide top 4 team. We bumbled over the line in so many other games and just got the win. Think of that win against the Warriors at ANZ. Or the one against the Broncos at Suncorp. Those wins masked our weaknesses. I saw the cracks emerging. A few others did as well like Fong but most didn't. BA should have seen what was going to happen but he got complacent and thought it would all be fine. I never thought we'd get the spoon the following year but I had a nagging doubt that we'd go backwards.

             

          • No Bup.

            We just need to be continuously upgrading talent.

             

        • Rubbish we did, you werten't even around here in 2017, unless of course you've changed your avatar since then.
