@Chris razor might continue to promote from within giving Liam Allen a full contract? PUJ should definitely link up with his twin & Flanders could bring some more bay flavor joining Evans, Mikaele-Tu'u, Renton ect 😉
No not Liam Allen they by passed him this season for Gardner and Kellow who are younger.
Maybe Razor will look for another LF with some SR experience.
But you never know I heard PUJ to the landers
Flanders looking down south somewhere. -

PUJ would be very handy,we could dump McLeod.
That would be hilarious. Leaves the canes because some guy who's never proven himself at centre is ahead of him and it's musical chairs at 12...goes to crusaders.
It would be Ironic in a few people eyes.

Some info about the Highlanders high performance program in this article. News to me that the Chiefs were interested in Fabian Holland.
No 9s Nathan Hastie and Noah Hotham are in, as are No 10s Cam Millar, Ajay Faleafaga and Finn Hurley, while hooker Jack Taylor, No 8 Will Stodart and tall winger Jeremiah Asi round out a group that is expected to start pushing for full Highlanders contracts by 2024.

You guys well and truly have enough talented locks. No need to hoard.

That's why I was surprised. The Chiefs have 4 locks who are 23 yrs old or younger.

@Bovidae since Hastie and Hotham are seen as future squad members , I would hope another kiwi team has a look at James Arscott, still only 21 and has a real good pass on him
Agreed, he’s had smith as his mentor for years too, you can see it in his pass technique

@Kiwiwomble Don't know for how long Mark Ozich is signed at the Force, but he could be an excellent fit. Has proven himself at NPC level and has coached the Highlanders U20s in 2021, so knows the emerging talent. Apart from the Magpies head coach, he's also a former Southland Assistant Coach.

@Stargazer will be really interesting, really need a bit of a sea change i think

this just popped up in my feed...shit that was a loose game, one of fletcher smiths first i think and opened them up from our own 5m...awesome...got i would love to have that attacking power and in hindsight that many players that seemed to largely avoid injuries

With Browny leaving they'll be needing another backs coach, so we will probably see Dermody appointed (based on his success in 2021) as head coach & them bringing back (former U20 coach) Ozich to be their attack coach. Can't really see anything else happening.
