    @stargazer Any idea on if he is leaving after Super Rugby or after NPC? Auckland are getting very low on locks.

    @kiwimurph Sorry, I don't know. What I've posted is from the Canes' website, which they seem to have posted a day early. There's nothing on the Worcester Warrior's site, yet.

    This weeks short ball podcast is very good.

    Sumo has Simon Porter as guest (lawyer/agent).

    Touches on exodus, schoolboys signing contracts, and Beaver.

    @rapido Thanks, that reminded me to post the last three episodes of Short Ball in the rugby podcast thread.

    According to Worcester Warriors' media release, Fatialofa will join them after the Mitre 10 Cup, so he'll play for Auckland.

    Sucks to lose Fatialofa - a really valuable member of the team. Will be missed, especially with Shields going too.

    @paekakboyz I kind of expect the announcement of Scott Barrett signing for the Hurricanes any minute now.

    @stargazer that would be interesting. While SB has played in black I think I'd rather keep Fatialofa. While SB is solid as, and does have potential, I wouldn't see him as significantly better that Fatialofa.

    @paekakboyz Unfortunately, we'll never know how good Fatialofa could have been (in SR, or even on the next level), due to his bad luck with injuries. SB is a good lock, with AB experience, who can also play at 6, so that's an attractive 'extra' for the Canes, especially because Shields is going as well. For him, the consideration might well be that he can play with his brothers in SR, for the same team his old man used to play for. .... But he may also opt to stay at the Crusaders, because continuing to play with Sam Whitelock will be good for his further development (he is only 24) and his AB prospects. We'll see.

    So the Canes are going to lose Shields, Thompson and Fatialofa. It will be interesting to see who they will select next year (SB ? Cridge at last free of injury ? an Aussie ?).

    Christian Lloyd must be almost due to be wheeled out again and be awarded another contract, not to mention another like James Blackwell. Interesting to note Anthony Pettit moving from Johnsonville to MSP, got to be some hint there as well?

    I thought Lloyd have given up altogether. Bad run of big injuries stopped any early career advancement. Unless I am getting him mixed up with someone else I think he was also studying at med school?
    Only reference I can find on google is this in a stuff article

    "But Broadhurst isn't the only one. Prop John Schwalger and lock Christian Lloyd are other recent Hurricanes to be forced into retirement by chronic injuries."

    Presumably injured, hasn't been sighted in any Hurricanes outfits that have fronted nor for Poneke in the Swindale Shield yet this season. Perhaps jauzy019 is sitting on some news about an imminent departure?

    Bit early for him to be leaving isn't it, he only played U20s last year. He was named in the Canes squad though right?

    Yes. He got injured during the 2017 Mitre 10 Cup and had a shoulder reconstruction. That's the reason why he hasn't been playing yet, this year.

    Blackwell is more a 6 than a lock, due to his lack of size (he's weighing less than 100 kg).

    According to an announcement on the website of Mitsubishi Sagamihara Dynaboars, Jordan Taufua and Matt Vaega will both play for the club during the 2018-2019 season of the Top Challenge League.

    Obviously, because he has re-signed with the Crusaders, this is only a short-term exodus for Taufua, although he might arrive a bit late for the 2019 SR season (as other Kiwis playing in Japan have done). I've no idea whether Vaega will return to NZ.

    @stargazer Was quite surprisingly that Vaega didn't get a Blues contract. Hope he is back for Harbour some time.
