Now vaxxed after "doing his own research"
Jason Taumalolo was prickly when asked about his vaccination stance, but Maori All Stars co-captain Joe Tapine had no issues opening up about refusing the jab.

Maori teammate Dylan Walker confirmed he had been vaccinated, but initially held off as he did his own research. Not long after he received the jab, a one-year extension with Manly was rubber-stamped.
“I looked into it and wanted to read about [vaccinations], but I’m vaxxed now,” Walker said. “They [Manly] knew my history, I told them, ‘This is a commitment [I’ve made] for myself’, and nobody is making me do it, but I wanted to do my own research. That was it.
“I still haven’t had COVID yet. I’m one of the few that hasn’t. I’ll keep the head down and train hard.”
