Toulon have signed Liam Messam on a 2-year deal, they're still in talks with Jerome Kaino : https://www.rugbyrama.fr/rugby/top-14/2017-2018/toulon-engage-messam-pour-deux-ans_sto6485028/story.shtml
That’s not good. Boudjellal still trying to buy his way to the top.
Messam is past it. Dud signing imo.

Past it in Super Rugby or ABs does not equal past it in France. FFS Joe Rok still plays.

Mostly at centre. I’ve watched him live recently, still has a wicked step but no pace.

Even with no pace he'd be quicker than most I bet.

Messam did a lot of good for NZ rugby. A good team man. But my lasting memory of him will always be going ahead of people to grab a medal at the world cup he didn't play in.
Mine is his chat with Cruden just before taking that 2nd kick to beat Ireland in 2012? to secure the perfect season. Such a cool moment, no idea what he said just looked like some much needed support at the most critical of times

I thought rumours of his and Taimanivalu's departure had been about for a while, Taufuas is new though

Taufua can earn way more in Europe and has zero likelihood of decent money in NZ. He gave it a good shot but obviously isn't what the selectors are after.
Charlie will be a loss to depth but he is also in a big logjam with little opportunity to get a place.You can't blame these guys when their value in NZ isn't matched by their ability on a world scale. Only the very very best get decent coin in NZ. Everyone else is hanging onto a black jersey dream.
