00:00:00
I was told about Jonah by a gentleman by
00:00:02
the name of Dez Smith who was manager
00:00:04
for the New Zealand secondary school.
00:00:06
Stear and I went off to sevens
00:00:08
tournament that year he was playing and
00:00:10
we looked at each other after we'd seen
00:00:12
him in a couple of games and I said to
00:00:14
what are you thinking? He said I reckon
00:00:16
I'm thinking the same as you. I said
00:00:19
wing he said yes not a number eight. And
00:00:23
here was the reasoning. He had this
00:00:24
incredible talent which we all know
00:00:27
about but atund I think he was about 110
00:00:30
kgs at that stage. So was Tim Gavin and
00:00:33
so was Willie Offen Gawway and so was
00:00:35
Rodba from England. He's not going to be
00:00:37
able to give us that magic as a loose
00:00:39
forward. We've got two years to make a
00:00:41
wing out of him and boy well the rest is
00:00:44
history. Yeah.
