Disagree, think that Kini will get more minutes next season. Especially if Nadolo leaves in the autumn/winter. Lets also face it I think there's a good chance Kini has been out injured and we didn't know it at various points, as think he'd have played more otherwise.TigerMac3 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 8:50 pm Yes.

But it's all about squad balance.
Look at Bristol how unbalanced their squad is in terms of quality and numbers look at what happened to them this season.
and whilst Moroni was important
Moroni wasn't even a regular starter till April 16th this season.
Don't get me wrong was very important but no where near the level of integral as IMO people make out to be.

In an odd turn of events I got recommend on Youtube today what I can only guess as a old Fijian schoolboy rugby final and out of curiosity I had a quick flick through it and low and behold our very own Murimurivalu is playing in the game.TigerFeetSteve wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 8:56 pmDisagree, think that Kini will get more minutes next season.

I think Murimurivalu should leave out of principle. I was astounded to see him (and Saumaki) walking, in the rain, across the supporters coach park after the final.

Kini signed a new contract a couple of months ago.
