Is it three years or two?
Be good to clarify as rugby.com.au seems to be saying the latter.
The one guy I don't know too much about is Tapine, reportedly an arrival from league.

Tapine had a run or two in the trials. Played 13 and looked to have a lot of talent/potential.
From the Brumbies website:
Reece Tapine, 21 YO (probably at the beginning of the year), 193cm and 93kg. Came to the Brumbies this year from Norths Eagles in the Brisbane Hospital Cup. Previously played League.

wow great signing - really boosted their wing stocks...I am assuming the 3 person import quota not being set down for next year which is fabulous as I personally don't believe quotas are appropriate at this stage as we need winning teams to build interest and give time for development pathways to flourish...

Also happy with this as I differ to lot of people on here that absolutely we should look at league talent and wingers obvious players to more easily make transition to union and succeed...

Actually the force ceo is quoting as confirming they had made an approach to Blake Ferguson

How do you feel about wingers 30+ in age, no history in the sport and can’t make the team for a mid tier NRL side?

Oh bejesus. A force to be reckoned with. Excuse the pun.

Especially ones basically sidelined due to being a liability in defence.

He’s definitely not 31. Mid 20’s at best.
EDIT. I thought you were talking about Manasa Mataele

Probably little bit more indifferent given age and no union past pedigree. I just read media saying still good player and was in origin consideration- whether correct or not I don’t know as don’t follow league. Yeh look I like the idea of looking at league players but would not be too disappointed if Blake Ferguson not signed for reasons mentioned

Sam Ayoub is also Koribete’s agent, so he probably sees merit is moving Ferguson over to Rugby as the retirement plan.

I think at the right price he could add something to any of our 5 sides but only if he falls into someones lap because someone else has under valued him. I follow less nrl than I do afl which is less than our game but from everything I see Fergo has really turned his life & teams around in the 2nd half of his career but I wouldn't be selling the farm for magic beans.
