Title: Jeff to Ulster
Post by: Shugs on May 30, 2022, 11:34:17 AM
JTA confirmed as heading to Ulster. Interesting how many are heading to the URC. That’s Fifita, Fekitoa, JTA and Young. Good luck Jeff.

Have a good one, Jeff. I always liked you. You played with a smile on your face.

Little bit surprised he is staying in this hemisphere, all his social media posts pointed to a return home, but as many have already said a good guy who brings alot to a squad on and off the pitch.

Perhaps he misread their address as North Island.  Will miss his smile on the pitch.

  :)   I agree with all the above esp. Chunky24.  I was lucky enough to meet him when he joined and he is so kind and an absolutely delightful chap. The grin is so infectious and even more so when stirring trouble on the pitch!  The area round the tunnel and benches will never be as tidy again.  Bless you, Jeffrey and family, and thank you for all you have done for Wasps.  From the old biddy with the lone Wasp tattoo   Good luck always.

All the best Jeff loved his humour and his smile. He was a great player to have in the squad.

Unbelievably chuffed with this for him.
He ran the risk of being at that age where he might have been edged out of a super rugby contract and mitre cup surely doesn’t offer as much money as another contract abroad.
Hopefully a two year deal for him and another great experience for his family
An absolute top bloke and hard done by really in a league that had forgotten the scrum is merely a way to restart the game - as a rugby playing prop he is one of the best and an essential clubman
