Hey lads, there may be a better place than here (and it may have been reported elsewhere) but someone over at GAGR posted about some Spirit lads moving to Brisbane to play club rugby.
Laione Mulikihaamea, AJ Alatimu, Eric Vasukicacau and Maalonga Konelio are all at the one club, GPS, apparently. Also Hadleigh May was rumoured to be joining them, but that's not confirmed.
Hot on the heels of Brad Lacey (who I think Stiles somewhat recruited over?) it's a bit of concern. These were all excellent players for the Spirit.
Its a blow for WA Rugby it would seem. Any word from over there as to why they moved? QLD Premier Rugby clubs usually don't pay for players (although there are always whispers to the contrary). At least not to the extent of Sydney clubs.
I could imagine most of those lads getting a gig with our NRC teams. Laione could push for a Reds squad spot next year too (based on what I saw of the NRC).
