    Can confirm the Highlanders are chasing Jacomb, but nothing is signed yet.

    @Bones I think you'll find the opposite is true. Particularly in the northern hemisphere.

    And just where will I find that?

    @frugby any news on the front row situation (beyond that we’re looking overseas?)

    If there’s any updates on the rumour regarding Fita Sia / loose forward updates would be keen to hear that too.

    @handa457 Have heard nothing on the front row - other than that Bell is supposedly re-signed (I guess he in theory could have his contract chopped like a few others, but seems unlikely)

    I wasn't aware of any rumours regarding Fiti Sa, and would be surprised if there was anything in them. Nothing on the loose forwards either.

    @frugby someone posted (I forget who) in the 2025 thread a few weeks ago that the landers had enquired about Fita Sia’s contract. But don’t recall any other details or even if it had gone further than that.

    @handa457 that was me, but discard that now as my source confirmed the Chiefs have no intentions on letting him leave. He was a big coup for them to steal from the Saders and they see him as an AB lock in the next few years.

    They also have his younger brother Jayden on their books now too after he has aligned with Taranaki permanently

    @Fredsaua12 bit of a log jam up at the chiefs in the locking department. Understand contracting might prevent him leaving this year, but being stuck behind Lord, Vaii and Ah Koi would be pretty limiting for the young fella. Even if Lord of made of glass.

    I'm not too worried about locking stocks. Between Holland, Dunshea and Tengblad you have strong primary locks. Stodart and Haig are big enough as well. Not a problematic spot. We just can't run Holland into the ground.

    Doing a Dylan Pledger post.

    • Celebrate the U20 player of the year gong

    • Wish him luck as VC of the U20s

    • Confirm he will be signed for three years

    Make it impactful. But they are just trying to stay relevant by re-hashing award winners.

    With the news that Lucas Cashmore is leaving the Canes, the Highlanders should definitely take a swing on him, especially with Faleafaga leaving. Wouldnt get a better opportunity for playing time at any other NZ franchise.

    Could he possibly be the 10/15 signing from the Canes that was rumored? Just a thought.
