@Stargazer He did so did Franklin and Elliott Dixon at least to 2020.They must have had some sort of out clause built in.

Stargazer

@Tim Nareki and Gregory = rumour only

Yeetyaah

Nareki makes sense coz he's already down there with Otago. Gregory not so much but I think he'd fit in down there. Also I remember Colin Cooper taking an interest in him earlier this year.

Yeetyaah

Also on the Lomax/Highlanders subject. Low-key hoped the Chiefs would try pick up Iosefa-Scott but I doubt they'll let him go anywhere now.

Canes4life

@Stargazer I wonder if he will leave Ta$man and sign for Wellington?

Stargazer

@Canes4life If he's not with the ABs, I'd be happy for him to replace Ben May at the Magpies.

But if he's going to wear the black jersey the next few years, Wellington can have him. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

Canes4life

@Stargazer I see what you're trying to do there

Canes4life

Matching up the Crusaders vs Canes XV's next year and you have one ding dong battle, shame we can't get Lomax for the playoffs this year: this is also assuming Beaudy takes a sabbatical.

Piss off - we'll give them Izzy Dagg back!

@Wurzel Article attached I hope culley is talking shit

Tim

Who was the last NZ player to use an "out-clause" to move to another franchise? Nonu?

Steven Harris

@Tim all these signings from other franchises and not a. peep coming out of the Blues..plenty of gaps to fill but you have got to say most of the talent is locked away already ..
I am hoping somewhere in the back room there’s some sort of recruitment plan going on...
Just bugs me that the franchises appear to be locking in their squads nice and early..

Cully is fishing, that's all. I believe it once it's confirmed by the franchise.

Promising outside backs in the the baby All Blacks include Northland wing Scott Gregory and Bay of Plenty pair Lalomilo Lalomilo and Cole Forbes.

Stuff understands Crusaders No 10 Mitch Hunt will also be joining the franchise and he won't be the last, although Clark wouldn't bite when asked if the Highlanders had also pursued brilliant young Crusaders fullback Will Jordan, who is off contract.

Chris

@Stargazer you probably are right

Lomax's partner got a job in Wellington, he probably got a release because of that. Not all employers are cnuts

@Tim aww frick! That boy is a gun

Tim

@Siam Yeah, he's a big loss alright.

@Chris-B said in Super Rugby News:

Nic Berry would have got a lot of credit if he'd stood up to Marius with a "Sorry Marius, that looks like it's gone back to me - it's certainly not clear and obvious".

That was my immediate reaction - no worries with that, we'll get that try.

Late reply but in the Highlanders stormers game the tmo hurriedly tried to award a try where the winger was clearly not even or behind the kicker (after 1 camera angle) and Berry correctly stood his ground and overruled him.

Good reffing, questionable haste from tmo

Tim

@Machpants IIRC, the Lomax brothers were from Wellington too.
