With Sir Michael Jones being the board chairperson I wonder if Niko is a possibility to sign for the team?
Didn't someone post he has signed for the Blues or was that just a rumour ?

@Nogusta is the one to ask.

I don't think there was confirmation, just 'I think he has a full contract'

@arhs its so painful
At least they’re trying to build some excitement…it has me checking their page, better than the normal nz team socials, one announcement…and then a month later…another etc
-
@stargazer at least theyre less likely to go overseas if they have a super gig and so should be available for the magpies too...
-
@kiwiwomble Exactly, that's why I'm really happy with these signings. MP will probably suffer some serious hidings in SRP and get few wins (maybe v Waratahs, Rebels, Force and/or Drua), but they're getting SR experience and will hopefully return as better players to the Bay.
We'll probably have more Magpies in MP than in the Hurricanes and Highlanders squad in 2022.
-
@stargazer might have misinterpreted your ".."
the biggest problem i see is less players available for the Highlanders
-
@kiwiwomble Yep, both Funaki and Fomai were signed by the Landers for SR T-T, so must have been on their radar. Tbh, I think Enari is a greater loss to NZ franchises, and so will be McClutchie if he's signed with MP.

@daffy-jaffy Excellent to see that confirmed.
It's YOUR loss, Hurricanes!
Edited to add that this also seems to confirm that he's only NZ-eligible.
-
@stargazer it's probably a blessing for McClutchie tbh. He isn't better than Ruben Love from what I've seen so it's probably better for him to start somewhere, than be a reserve somewhere else like the Canes.
I hope he goes well and gets plenty of opportunity for Moana Pasifika.
