@KiwiMurph My sources tell me he has a verbal agreement with the Highlanders just going to through the formalities.

Not Nock. He was replying to a post about Freedom
Haha I read it the same way as @Higgins! Was about to lose it haha.

I assume he's coming to the Chiefs.
@Bovidae may know something.
In the words of Sgt Schultz, I know nothing.
It was mentioned on here that both Gatland and Sione Mafileo had signed for the Chiefs.

I'd like to see 1st SR contracts for:
-
Tom Parsons (lock) - has already been injury cover at the Highlanders
-
Lincoln McClutchie (1st five) - plenty of potential; given the lack of good 1st five eighths in NZ, it's mind-boggling that he hasn't been picked yet (from what I'm hearing)
-
Kianu Kereru-Symes (hooker) - had a short stint as injury cover at the Highlanders and then a longer stint at the Blues (replacing James Parsons)
Neria Fomai and Stacey Ili have been pretty good, too, this season, but I don't think SR contracts will be on their horizon as both have played for Samoa (7s resp. XVs) and both are in their late twenties.

Does Pierce still have a contract with the Blues he looks really decent,the best of the non AB locks I think.
It was mentioned on TSF that he just signed a one year extension with the Blues. I guess if he doesn't get enough game time in 2021 he'll look elsewhere
I'm confident he'll be an AB soon

@Cantab79 Would be a good replacement for Romano.
Yep, plays a similar style. I'm a huge fan of Romano, I think he's playing some of his best Rugby and I feel he was dropped too soon by the AB's. He'd have been a handy player to have had around the squad this year. One thing you know about him is that he always brings toughness to the collisions and he loves to clean out bodies all day.
