Reuben O'Neill

Plays both sides and could be a great pick up. I'm hoping we don't lose him - contract status for him and others @Stargazer ?

[gt12]

And now I catch up. Is that legit?

Fucking Blues just cannot fucking keep their shit together, if that's true.

Of course, I'll be pleased that we didn't lose our guys

[Chris]

@gt12 Is he classed as an Allblack as he has never been on the field ?

That was one of my questions, but I'm hoping we keep him. It's hard though, because we also have Moli and Ross plus two AB THs....

@gt12 NZRU: "Auckland rugby is one of our top priorities."

Also NZRU: "Hey Blues players, if you're not feeling it just go to the Crusaders."

[Chris]

@gt12 Yep you boys are stocked up with some quality Props, its hard to keep them.Crusaders lost Laulau as he was behind Franks plus he was closer to family and the Chiefs.

[Chris]

@Tim I cant see how all these players can move when they have contracts like Lomax that needs to be tightened up.
Teams think they are sorted in that position for a couple of years then Fuk me I am off and they get blindsided.

[Tim]

@Chris Yep, absolutely fucked, and a massive disincentive to investment.

[Stargazer]

I think everyone needs to calm down. It's a rumour that one Ferner has heard. That doesn't make it true until his move has been officially announced/confirmed.

I prefer to watch the panic!

@Nogusta usually has the good oil.

Subtle.

Bryn Hall must've turned down some nice offers. Good on him for staying in NZ.

[chchfanatic]

I was speaking to a certain person about 3 weeks ago. I asked him what props would come in to replace franks etc. His comment was we will replace like for like. To me that meant they were going to bring in a ab. I presumed it was Laulala because of his history.
Then on Saturday I was at a bar before rugby and a guy I had never met but is well connected in rugby circles starts chatting to me and my mates. He was telling us a few players his franchise were signing. Then I asked if he had heard about prop and he said Ofa had signed with crusaders. So yes it is a rumour but comes from a couple of good sources.

[Chris]

@chchfanatic That would be Awesome if it's True.

[Stargazer]

Sevu Reece has signed a new two-year contract with the Crusaders.

Yay 😀

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer FUCK. I was really hoping he'd come to the Chiefs but can't blame the guy. Will only get better.
