Reports out of New Zealand are that Reesjan Pasitoa is close to signing with the Highlanders for 2026. Was really hoping he would end up in Aus getting another opportunity. Kiwi background, so probably wont seem him in Aus again.
Former Brumbies and Western Force back Reesjan Pasitoa has been signed by the Highlanders, the Herald understands, offering him a chance to rebuild his career across the ditch. Pasitoa, who is still only 23, played for Northland in the NPC and featured in the No.12 jersey.
Shame, but good on himDon't expect to Scott Sio in a Wallabies jersey again, he has made the jump to Samoa:

Former Wallaby Sio named for Samoa ahead of World Cup Final Qualification Tournament
74-capped Wallaby Scott Sio will look to guide Samoa to the 2027 Rugby World Cup after being named in the squad for the Final Qualification Tournament.www.rugby.com.au
He won't be, he's currently contracted to Exeter for the current season that ends June 2026. Deals can always be done, but the only way I can see that happening is for a Wallaby qualified player that RA are interested in, otherwise the money just won't be there.Shouldn't stop the Brumbies having an interest if he's available for 2026.

Seems to have been tried in the halves too.19 games, 14 tries in Q Cup is a good season when learning.
I think he could be a good Fullback in Rugby and seems a late developer play wise. With a few new NRL sides coming in guys like this will be filling out the squads.
