@Stargazer LOL, slip of the mind there! Meant Laulala.

I've had to stop drinking coffee for a while, so we'll blame that.

[Kirwan]

@Stargazer wishful thinking, means Laulala.

[Stargazer]

@Tim I thought I had missed some big news (and a change in position).

[BerhamporeNinja]

@Tim Luatua's coming to the Canes next year.....lol wishful thinking right

[BerhamporeNinja]

Looks to be signed to the Blues to the end of 2021.

[Stargazer]

@BerhamporeNinja All the props in that list and James Parsons are signed to the Blues until the end of the 2021 season.

[BerhamporeNinja]

wowee what a team

[Crazy Horse]

The Roosters of Super Rugby.

[BerhamporeNinja]

still get clapped by Canes though .. ..bye now

[Bovidae]

It used to be the Crusaders that hoarded AB props, then it was the Chiefs for a few years, and now it's the Blues. Not a criticism, just stating a fact.

@Bovidae When will us long suffering Canes fans get a turn at a world class front row

You've had the best back 3 in the comp frequently ... you can't get both at the same time

[BerhamporeNinja]

@mikey07 we need a good back up tight head for lomax otherwise i think we're good

[Nepia]

I missed the Laulala move this week. So the Blues have become a Super version of the Ta$man Invitational XV under Leon ... you Blues fans should start worrying, TJ is going to be fluffing you like crazy now.

Have just caught up with a couple of the North Harbour management pre kick off at the Northland game in Whangarei ,Both Sione Mafileo and Bryn Gatland have signed with the chiefs .
Nic Mayhew is in discussions with the Blues and unbelievably Jacob Pierce does not have a full contact with the Blues..

[Bovidae]

So Mafileo is a direct swap with Laulala.

[Steven Harris]

@Bovidae yes from what I believe ..tell you what Pierce would be a superb pick up

Laulala > Mafileo
Mafileo great in the scrums but struggles around the field

Mayhew would be a good signing. Hugely underrated.

Pierce - well hopefully it's still at the negotiating phase. He's already a far better player than Goodhue and GCT
