Rodders was never a ruck inspector either

Fantastic, can we add Prinsep, J Savea, Blackwell, Kirifi and Holland himself to that list? It will be interesting who gets that third hooker spot.

I thought O'Reilly went well when he played

[Winger]

@FakatavaAllBlack read somewhere that canes and chiefs are after him

[Grooter]

@Winger chiefs after Brett Cameron? wouldn't imagine so since they have Ioane, Gatland, Reihana, Trask & D Mac

Agree. But sure the article said Chiefs . Maybe it was Highlanders and Canes. That would make more sense

[Canes4life]

@Winger I think I remember it was the Highlanders and Canes. I know Brett Cameron and J Barrett are good mates, so if that signing keeps Barrett in Wellington, then I'm all for it, even though I think Aiden Morgan's our ten moving forward.

That’s what I hope Ardie can develop. Rodders created many opportunities for McCaw and others with his work at the ruck.

Cool I wouldn't mind Cameron at the Chiefs, got a source at all for that article?

We don't need him, Dmac at 10, re-sign Falcon or bring in McClutchie, and bring up Reihana. None of that will happen though as we apparently have Joane for two more fucking years...

[mikey07]

Bring back Jimmy Gopperth or someone on a one year deal JUST for the experience he could provide to Morgan and Love I’d like Cameron but that would interfere with Morgan and Loves development i feel.

I swear this thread a copy and paste of a Blues thread for the last 2 decades, just with names swapped out.

Lol I hope this chat doesn’t last 2 decades.

[Yeetyaah]

Flanders and Walker-Leawere sign til 2024.

[Higgins]

@Yeetyaah Two things spring to mind. i) Reed Prinsep must have "long covid" that will rule him out for a lengthy period or ii) Ardie must be reverting to openside (or lock!)

[Canes4life]

@Yeetyaah fantastic news, all good signings so far. Keep them coming.

[gt12]

@Yeetyaah

Two big signings for them. With luck )for the Canes, at lest), both players will be starting next year.

[Canes4life]

@gt12 yeah, Ardie to 7, Flanders to 8 would be ideal.

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life Flanders at 6 and Ardie at 8 is more likely, unfortunately.

If they play Iose at 7, that could still work.

[Stargazer]

@gt12 I don't think Iose plays openside though, so not sure whether that will work.
