@mikey07 It would be a good move for MMT's career.
Could be Frizzel, he’s got the Ta$man connection.
-
@Canes4life He has a hyphen name but it’s not MMT.
-
@mikey07 is it Lio-Willie? That’s the only other player with a hyphened name in the current crop of Highlanders loose forwards.
-
@Canes4life Yip sure is.

Would be hugely disappointing for the Canterbury All Stars to pick up a lad like CLW. While he didn't make the original squad, injuries curtailed his season. Whenever he was available he was picked. Initial injury was in the pre-season and then another in the game he started. Otago and the Highlanders failed this exceptionally talented player by not identifying him early. But it will be a hell of a shame to lose him.

It's about time Crusaders signed an explosive islander loose-forward. They have too many white, slow and workmanlike loosies who all have very similar attributes. Not saying there's anything wrong specifically with the existing group, however you need a bit of variety and point of difference in your squad make up & athlete characteristics, and Lio-Willie would certainly offer that much needed point of difference for the Crusaders.

give the Landers Bridge for 2023? wishful thinking, it's just that his days as a starter for the crusaders are clearly over
George looks like he's lost a couple of yards of pace. Going somewhere where he could specialize at fullback probably his best plan.

So - anyone got news on the availability or Taylor, Whitelock and/or Matera for Saturday?
When you consider that our best starting pack at the beginning of the season was probably Moody, Taylor, Jager, Barrett, Whitelock, Matera, Blackadder, Grace - we didn't have many of those guys involved in last week's 2nd half.

Was it confirmed Taylor was injured on the weekend? If not, gutsy move to sub him at half time.

@Chris-B From memory I think citings are heard on Tuesday nights whilst the way Fozzie spoke yesterday I would suggest Whitelock will be available this week.
Don't they do that pre-judiciary thing first. You can accept what happens there or go to a hearing.

Yeah the communication isn't great.
