The son of former Warrior legend Joe Vagana. Isaiah Vagana played his junior league for Mt Albert Lions.

In 2018, Vagana represented Auckland U18 team.

In 2019, Vagana played 18 games for the Warriors Jersey Flegg team mainly at second row. Vagana was selected for Counties Manukau Stingrays and New Zealand Junior Kiwis honours in 2019.

In February 2020, Vagana played in the Warriors trial game against the Melbourne Storm in Palmerston North. At the end of the 2020 Vagana was released by the Warriors.

At the end of the 2020 Vagana was released by the Warriors.​

In 2021 he held a development contract with the Warriors. I think he was with the squad in Terrigal & played a tiny bit for the Entrance Tigers in the Central Coast comp before getting injured & subsequently released at the end of 2021

I would have thought Otahuhu , Ponsonby ( old days)

I think you thought wrong ..I think Ponsonby were second to Richmond, and on that basis they will still be there...I have just tried googling it but cannot find anything s you will have to take me at my word

If he’s half as good as the old man he’ll go alright.
Geez we could do with big Joe about now- what a player.
I remember him coming off the bench for the kiwis once and totally bitching the Aussie pack. He was at the peak of his pows then- probably the best prop in the world at the time.

I think I count 60 Richmond kiwis players, out of a total of 827 or so.

I cannot remember where I read it. It was way back last century. However I believe it to be true, as a totally impartial observer.

2nd coming of the Roaches and Vaganas etc, hard not to get sentimental about it all…

Now there was a prop.

Wasnt too many Kiwi's at that time that the Aussies (dont want to say were scared of) but could genuinely worry them, but with the power that big Joe had he was one of them.

One of my favourite players at the time really wish he had stayed in the NRL as he wouldve created a huge legacy for himself here (understandable he left the club when he did tho as it looked like we were about to go tits up and he did have a great career at Bradford).

One wonders if the way the game is now if there's even room for the Vagana's and Paleassina's of this world. I hope so cause they were a joy to watch.
