I think I've spotted a tweeti-leak

Maafu, will be lucky if he's a wallaby at the end of the season.... Is he not out with a broken hand?...

He's signed now, it's up to him to prove he's better than K-Bomb, IMHO it won't happen, but MHO means precisely nothing and the battle will be good for both of them.

I'll dispute calling him a powerful ball runner, he's a marshmallow from what I've seen. (need to qualify that by saying I've only ever seen him in International rugby, and Kieran isn't up to that standard either)

To be fair, especially as he is now one of us, there is a pretty limited pool of available Props in Australia with the post RWC northern exodus. If we had signed two star Props there would be calls from the peanut gallery for not supporting the development of Longbottom et al.

But, SGR, is Ma'afu going to be content to sit on the bench and watch Longbottom play?

I think he will have to be. Keiran's time has arrived and I wouldn't rule out his going one more level. He's a block of solid muscle these days and has served his apprenticeship nicely. They can give Ma'afu a pie and a coke to keep him content for the first 60.

If it's one thing the Force does well it's turning marshmallows into mountains of man meat.
If Ma'afu doesn't die during preseason training it may be the making of him
