@stargazer I've watched it. I couldn't stop thinking about his disgraceful airport toilet encounter when they were all banging on about what a great bloke/husband/Dad he is.
-
Hunt confirmed on Wednesday that he had re-signed until the end of the 2023 season, joining Aaron Smith, Folau Fakatava and Shannon Frizell in committing to the Highlanders until the next Rugby World Cup.
-
@stargazer was just coming to post this, thats great news, has really settled into his role
-
-
@duluth found an article thats just listed him as unknown
edit: i see you've found something, he will be more of a loss for Otago that the HIghlanders i think, not that he was perfect for us last year but he still has "something"
-
The Canes should chase him hard if he's available. He's good enough to start at SR level
Maybe leaving Dunedin would be a good idea based on his last 12 months

He only signed a one year extension with Otago last year. Doesn't mean he's leaving, but he was clearly keeping his options open
-
@duluth for him yeah, you might be right, for us?....bugger
Was really hoping he would settle and grow like Sopoaga did, he had a few rough seasons early on too

@taniwharugby Northland spoke to Josh last year , this where the Blues should have been working with Northland , it’s win win situation , no offence to the current first fives the Blues have , but I don’t think any of them will win you a championship..
-
Given that Barrett is on his way back, I doubt Ioane would want to join the Blues, but Northland/MP sounds like a plan.
-
-
I just don’t have faith that Otago and the highlanders would be working together to replace him
-
wow..i mean speights has sponsored Otago for decades, brief dalliances with other but often with Speights on the right breast too...now its a problem?

I blame Josh Ioane.
-
@crucial we should maybe check if it was his neighbours who complained
its also some shit journalism, they talk about Harroways (another sponsor) cropping out Speights from imagines of an even at a school they put on...saying other sponsors dont like speights being involoved...you can clearly see speights logos in the picks on the Harroways Facebook page
