@Chris said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc:
he has some mongrel
well duh, and yep that will follow him.

absolutely gutted for Southland ..in my opinion the Highlanders needed to work with the Southland union to keep Selby Rickit at the Highlanders ..would it not be better to have 2 strong unions that make up the Highlanders ..?.a little miffed at the player himself after Southland stood by him during his trial .🤔..So much for the investment in your under 19s that took out the National under 19 tournament BOP..
-
@Steven-Harris isn't he still at the Highlanders?
-
is his contract for beyond 2021? If not, you have to assume the logical next step is Chiefs?
-
@Bones Yeah, I think it's a bit premature to suggest the Highlanders have already lost him after signing with BOP, although the chances that he'll jump ship after this SR season is a good possibility, of course.
@taniwharugby The duration of his contract hasn't been published (by NZR/Highlanders).
-
@taniwharugby bit of a douche move then eh, to both Southland and the Highlanders. Then again perhaps his "issues" taught him not to take a professional career for granted and to go get what's best for him (and a lot of people don't think highly of him anyway).
-
did his run in actually occur in Invercargill? he might just really want to get out of town, im sure he gets a few sideways looks
-
@Kiwiwomble Yeah, it happened in Invercargill.

Shame that Crusaders/ Ta$man drew on the locking stocks. Thought Selby Rickit was from Manawatu anyways?
-
@Kiwiwomble yeah outside Night n Day.

Yeah well duh the ABs need some mongrel,sure It will follow him it has followed many players who have done stupid shit a lot not out in the media either.
If people new the half of some players stories.
Some from your region as well. -
@Chris I've heard plenty, some from your region too, but those guys were lucky many of them played in an era where their every move wasn't scrutinised and people didnt have phones to capture dumb shit, probably in portrait mode too!

Yeah mate from my region too totally agree about being scrutinised more ,but people keep doing dumb shit they don’t seem to learn.
Alcohol fueled usually. -
I think some Ferners already predicted this:
Neil Barnes is the new head coach of the Taranaki Bulls (for the next two seasons).
Barnes will return to Taranaki once he has completed his Gallagher Chiefs Super Rugby Aotearoa campaign, however he will work closely with Yarrows Taranaki Bulls players in the coming months. Taranaki Rugby will appoint its Yarrows Taranaki Bulls selectors and management team over the coming weeks.
Barnes appointed Yarrows Taranaki Bulls Head Coach
Neil Barnes has been announced as the new Head Coach of the Yarrows Taranaki Bulls. He is replacing Willie Rickards,...

Kingi, captain of the Sacred Heart 1st XV in 2020, is the son of former Counties Manukau representative Dion Kingi and the grandson of Counties and All Blacks legend Bruce Robertson and is tipped for a big future in the game. Kingi, who can play lock, blindside and number eight, played junior football at Ardmore Marist and represented the Blues U18 and NZ Barbarians U18 sides in 2020. He has linked up with the Chiefs U20 side this year and will return to his Counties Manukau origins to begin his professional career.
