@KiwiMurph said in Highlanders 2020:
If James Parsons left the Blues I don't believe he would suddenly become effective at another franchise - Michael Collins is/was essentially the backs version of Parsons. Parsons being re-signed by the Blues shows they still have big time issues as an organisation.
Thing about Parsons is that it's hard to believe that he's not among the best 15 hookers in the country - he's just not among the best five.

Not officially confirmed, but according to the Hawke's Bay Today, Folau Fakatava is contracted to the Highlanders for another two years.

Picked up some info at the CM v Hawkes Bay game this evening,CM wing Kirisi Kuridrani has signed with the Highlanders for the 2020 season
-
@Steven-Harris thank goodness for that. We are really lacking for outside backs.
-
@Bones he’s a good signing ,got good size and pace ,has been wasted playing for a Team that has struggled

@Stargazer
Fair but both look like potentially stars in the 15 man game. -

Not sure if that's a good signing then ... I'm sure we've got good
young NZ wings who would have been worthy of a spot. I guess he's considered a PI for the purposes of his selection. -

Don't we already have a big useless winger from Counties on our book in the form of Tevita Nabura?
Why do we need two?
Gregory and Koroi will both be members of the Sevens Olympic programme, not sure about Nareki, so we could be lacking some depth
-
@SouthernMann Nabura was only signed through to 2019; I haven't seen any announcement that he has re-signed.

I think I read somewhere he is rehabilitating to get ready for 2020 SR with the Highlanders was a quote from Aaron Mauger maybe in the Otago Daily Times.it was a couple of months ago.
