@machpants hell of a gamble rocking up half way through the season, i guess maybe he wasn't expecting a gig, just some training and prep for NPC?
Solomona has signed for the remainder of the Super Rugby Pacific season as a replacement player for the Highlanders, and he will then join North Harbour for their NPC campaignthis is interesting given whats been going on with Alaimalo
The winger has previously spoken candidly about his battle with depression, as a way of highlighting the importance of being open about mental health -
@kiwiwomble Just the interview about the extra players who had been invited to training. Abraham Pole was named, and Freedom, but there were postings asking why others were not mentioned for fans sake.

'Their set-piece failed them': Ex-All Black's message for winless Highlanders
A former All Black has pinpointed where the Highlanders need to improve to turn their winless start to the campaign around.
Must be about time for you to call for the Highlanders to be moved to North Harbour...
this isn't a stupid idea
Auckland can handle the extra side.
Then the Crusaders can move to Dunedin to play in the sort of stadium a team of that quality deserves
And then CCC doesn't have to build a stadium in Christchurch and can put the funds to more municipal uses.
wins all 'round

The Highlanders have received mixed injury news regarding two of their injured players, Thomas Umaga-Jensen and Billy Harmon.
Summary:
bad news: TU-J 's recovery is taking longer than anticipated and is still weeks away from a return.
good news: Harmon is doing better and may make a return very soon, sooner than expected. -
@stargazer i do rate Harmon but if i had to choose id rather get TUJ

u20's have a sick jersey

@kiwiwomble I presume Aaron withy is related to Sean?

@fakatavafuture don’t know but don’t think that’s a crazy idea

@kiwimurph browny came out earlier in the season and pretty much said he wasn't ready, kind of implied he was a project, maybe not even this year, which is a hell of a blow for someone with a full contract, thats whats WTG is for
while fellow winger Vereniki Tikoisolomone is seen as “project” player who will come into calculations as the season progresses. -

@yeetyaah said in Highlanders 2022:
And what happened to Liam Coombes-Fabling? Another project winger been tossed early? Highlanders taking the piss tbh. Do they have another 5 WTG contracts for wingers looking for the next Waisake?
MCL
Did it in his last game, taped it up at half time but too much damage done. Don't think it's season ending
-
@yeetyaah i always thought he was only an emergency injury cover kind of deal
