@bones Not at the moment!!! The incumbent is Ben Tuiatua who I know diddly squat about other than this appearing to be his first season at Premier level for MSP. He musty be getting a bit long in the tooth as he was playing Prem Reserve way back in 2010.
There is also a mention of someone that might be him being included in the Wgtn Samoan Squad in 2015 playing out of the Ories Club. http://www.collegerugby.co.nz/national/story.php?id=1591&page=12&sort=`date`+DESC&searchfield=&searchstring=

Where's Connor Garden-Bachop at with his rehab. Is he going to be back in time.
Here's a quote from the ODT article about the pre-season game with Southland.
"Most notable among the injured players was midfielder Thomas Umaga-Jensen.
The 23-year-old has had a horror run of injuries in recent years and picked up a ‘‘banged-up shoulder’’ in club rugby last Saturday.

I wouldn't move on even if injured all the time. He's young and banking 6 figures each year.

I'm happy it looks like Ray Nu'u is being given a good chance to stamp his mark on the 12 jersey.
