Is a Kiwi considered a Poly? Honest question, I really don't know.

Also, I'd rather take chances on physical specimens than bodies that are tall

He's Samoan.

Manase is from New Zealand. Mo is from Tonga.

ChubbyChaser

But he's not Maori or Kiwi. He's a Samoan New Zealander.

He is Kiwi (nationality) AND Tongan (ethnicity) even he says he is Tongan/kiwi

I'm gonna have to concede here. I'm just dead wrong.

No big deal. I would not have known unless someone linked his Twitter earlier.

Fui Vakapuna is from Utah; is someone from Utah "considered a Poly"?

Since we had a previous player by the name of Manase TONGA

The n's in his name make that clear, I believe

Don't let the produce section fool you. Kiwis should come in 12-count cartons.

A Kiwi is a white New Zealander.

A kiwi is anyone from New Zealand regardless of ethnicity.

You can't coach that size and both are athletic too. Good risk since most

Well, if they end up to be first rounders like Ziggy

Right because after 10 seasons there's no evidence of that

RockyBalboa

5/23/15 9:12am

Well, the fact that he continually starts walkons

Broncos walk on development is unparalleled!

That's three young men you've attacked already today and it's not even 10:00am.

What would they do without our moral highness to stand up for them?

Zeke, delete your account. I don't think you get what fan forums look like.

Do we need specific names to make this point? Seems harsh.

CoopDizz

Ziggy is a terrible comparison. he was a track athlete

Waste of a schollie? You think 6'7" 322 pro rugby player is our worst lineman?

wait he's a pro rugby player? what does that mean exactly

Put down your iPhone and post when you are at a laptop or desktop...sheesh

if you're clueless then just don't worry about it

I see where you are coming from though. I think Manase is a safer bet than Mo.

No risk no reward my friend. If you look at schollies like an investment,
