If he does come this season, the "quota" word crops up again.
My guess is Ratu is quota exempt this season (or isn't even a quota player) and so Talanoa's spot is up for grabs. Otherwise someone is leaving/retiring early and I don't really see that happening.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Ratu is exempt due to being from RU. (I think)
All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason. -Emmitt Smith
Reading abit more on him, in general he absolutley rips reserve grade up, but hasnt quite done it in first grade for whatever reasons, could be limited gametime who knows, there fans say they hope he finds his feet over here as they class there reserve grade as as good as our first grade

Is it 7 quota players? Assume Ratu must be exempt already if we are bringing in Satae early (unless an overseas player is going out) as that gives us Faraimo Tuimavave Kelly Paea Manu Minichiello Satae
Which would mean next year: Faraimo Tuimavave Fonua Kelly Ma'u Satae Paea / replacement
As said, unless we have an overseas player making way for Satae.
Think we posted at the same time! But this means I think after Satae we still have a quota spot for a forward? Or retain Paea? Assume Sao is still on the radar?

As yet no official statement from the club regarding Satae Mr B, our PR machine is in need of an upgrade.
