@Daffy-Jaffy Just continuing his form from the Canes

@mikey07 lol that 21 did not want a bar of him.

There was never any problem with Ben Lam on attack. Too bad he was won of the worst defensive wingers in the country.

Signed with NTT Communications Shining Arcs in Japan:
-
Fletcher Smith
-
Piri Paraone (former Wellington Lions)
-
-
that name just roles off the tongue
-
No mention of the length of Smith's contract.
NTT aren't one of the marquee teams but I see they have Marx, Tupou, Laidlaw and Leali'ifano in their squad. With the latter, Smith will have competition for the no.10 jersey unless they form a 10-12 combo.

Did you see the previous try? Exactly the same defensive technique from 21.

I don’t understand the Fletcher Smith going overseas
He is better than a few who have contracts. -

He is better than a few who have contracts.Ditto to that. Maybe it is a by-product of all franchises trying to complete squads way too early, at times when a lot of assumptions must be made. I wonder if NZRU will consider setting a date late in NPC after which a certain number of positions must be filled by each franchise. i.e. 3 to 5 positions must be open/unsigned as at the week between NPC semis and finals. That might lead to better options for the best of those players not already signed, with NZRU assisting with information on options. Just a thought... Seems a shame to have overseas players brought in each year when very good players are forced overseas.

Maybe a good idea hopefully it would stop this sort of thing happening

Back in the day Peter Thorburn had the job of ensuring the top 145(?) players in NZ were playing Super Rugby.
Then people whinged about how the franchises could not directly contract their own players.
Now we get players who are better than those contracted missing out.
The old system was better.
