@chris That's just a photo from his Brumbies profile. How do you know that's not his 2021 profile? Have they re-signed him?
Yep check out the Brumbies website he’s named in their 2022 squad.
Also Nesbit mentioned it when they showed the teams today in the RS game. -
@chris I'll take your word for it; their website has a squad list but it doesn't say whether it's the 2022 squad or 2021 squad. Just want to update my "signings" list, but for that I need either a Brumbies media release about him re-signing or the full 2022 squad announcement. I can't find either on their website.
-
The Brumbies squad page still shows Kata who has been released. It also is missing a few of the recent signings
The Brumbies have confirmed the re-signing of 4/5 of their locks from this year (all of them except Tucker). They have also signed an additional lock (Ed Kennedy)

Ok replay the start of the RS game when the teams are named as they go through the Waikato team Nesbit mentions he’s is off to the Brumbies.

@chris I said I was taking your word for it (translation: I believe what you say is true), but what you - or a commentator - say is not enough as official confirmation of a (re-)signing. That has to come from an official source, preferably the Brumbies. If I took everything commentators say as a fact, my lists would be useless.

Of course I am not asking you to put it on the wiki list just passing on what I heard.

Kata would be a good pickup for the Blues and would be interesting having to former Nrl converts at the Blues, possibly helping RTS transition, Is it a done deal, he could still go to MP.

@sbw1 done deal he b in blues
Does that seem coincidental that comes at a similar time to Ngani's departure to France. He is also described as a similar kind of player to Ngani. His experience in adapting to Union from League and being a former teamate of RTS, and the AB's need for a big blockbusting centre could really bring something to the table..

I assume we are talking about Kata? He hardly ever passed in League, not sure I'd want him in the midfield.

@crazy-horse yes kata

Lay off the drugs bro.

@taniwharugby really think they have missed a trick with not signing Caird. Since he has come back our pack has looked so much better. He is a natural athlete - quick on his feet so hits soft shoulders and makes ground with his carries, good in the air. It may be because they don’t have enough power?
But both Northland locks have outplayed their Waikato counterparts in recent years - by quite a bit. Even in games where we have been crap Caird has always been a standout. Sometimes when you are looking for something specific ( grunt? ) you miss what’s in front of you. Caird better than Tucker, Romano, Darry. Presume with Tucker and Romano they just wanted power scrumming.
Noticeable that Blues picking up Ta$man players. They should be a pathway for players in the region.

I wonder who replaces Faiane in the squad.
I realise Plummer will probably start at 12 but they need more 12 options.
Evans? Tua? Is Toala still signed to the Canes?
His contract with the Canes expired this year. Haven't heard anything about him being re-signed, but that doesn't mean much, obviously.
