@Nepia Doubtless a legacy of the teachings of Mike Coman!
Damn, we must have had terrible stocks back then for Coman to get regular gametime - he'd be holding tackle bags at practice in todays team. Anyway, we're repaying the favour with Renton.

Parsons has been outstanding. It's incredible he did not get a contract for the SR while teams like the Canes or the Chiefs had to field undersized and inexperienced locks.
I'm paying a lot more attention to him this season. He was drafted into the Blues this year and I'd never even heard of him!
-
@cgrant Yeah, he has been good for years and was training with the Canes during preseason in 2019. He has been around their development team (Hurricanes Hunters) for years. It's mind-boggling that has never been signed, esp by the Canes. I hope this year's stint with the Highlanders leads to something; either in Dunedin or elsewhere.

They also have Selby-Rickitt. And what about Whetton ? Is he signed for 2021 ?
Selby-Rickitt, yes, knew I was missing someone. I wouldn't put Whetton in the same bracket.
i wouldn't be writing Whetton off, he has some solid performances after Dickson was injured, id be happy to keep him around, maybe let parete go
assuming we've been orgainsied enough to lock in more than one of two i think we're good for locks

@shark No speculation about Parsons at all. I was only expressing the hope that his stint with the Highlanders (& his great performance for the Magpies the last few years) leads to a contract "either in Dunedin or elsewhere".
He could replace Allardice at the Chiefs if the Canes want to continue with the midget Blackwell.
