Veainu's always been excellent, but in my mind was always going to be heading overseas (no push for Wallabies qualification, I'm assuming). We've had good signings on the wing with Crawford, Kingston, Sefa, English, Shipperley and Hodge all developing (though injury has taken its toll).
For many reasons it's unfortunate he was let go, though for him it's better and for us it made sense.

He looked very good, but some of that defence needed no joker to make a mockery of it.

I had no idea who this bloke is, so I googled him. For the benefit of anyone else that's completely ignorant of all things NRL:
Played rugby as a school boy in Fiji.
23yo/180cm/93kg
Scored 16 tries in 23 games last year
4 tries in 6 games this year
Average 160 run metres per game(is that a lot in NRL? it sounds like a lot)
Played 5 tests for Fiji
He's worth pursuing and by reports in the Australian he met with the Rebels last week. I remember when he was at the Tigers and wished rugby had him.

I am also a Storm member and Koroibete is my favourite current player. He is lightning fast and strong. He does make some handling errors but the good far outweighs the bad.
On Thursday night when I first heard that Rugby were chasing him (with my Storm hat on) I said oh no. Then I heard it was the Rebels chasing him and I felt a little bit happier.

He looks pretty good, did he play Union as a schoolboy?

Yeah fair points, I guess I'm still a bit disappointed with the lack of game time he was given, particularly when English was in middling form and still getting time.

good player - would be great for aru and wallabies to nab him especially given prior Union experience

So, is his name pronounced *betty or *beety?
The commentators seem to switch every other clip

Who's the community manager of the AAMI Park official account in Instagram?? All the photos and information are about Storm and Melbourne City! How the h*ll rugby is going to grow in Melbourne if your own stadium doesn't support you and doesn't advertise your games???
The Rebels are the current leaders of Aussie conference and I don't see nothing about it in the AAMI Park account. The community manager hates rugby?

Wonder if Dan has dome enough to secure a contract extension. Don't know how much his back injury has affected him, but he's not been a standout in any appearances, chuck in the fact that Placid came on to play 15 and Hodge went to 10 in round 1 rather than the natural 10 jumping in, and we begin to wonder.

They kept Sefa's return quiet, you never know!
