Highlanders 2023

@Kiwiwomble yeah looked like a case of the clarkesies at the start, but seemed to get better. Was that him that did the kick at the end? It was fucking massive.
I like it.
-
“He hasn’t played since the Force game and has done no contact, so we’re we're going to try to build him up to see where we can get to.i had missed that he didn't play NPC, i would rather see gilbert or koroi given a shot than relying on banks, a bit worried now...not sure there are real superstars out there looking for a gig so anyone we bring in is going to have some reason they dont already have a contract
-
@Kiwiwomble Caleb Makene would have been handy, but I suspect he'll return to Utah Warriors.
-
Campbell Parata could be worth a go, seeing as it seems he missed out on a Force contract.
Could be interesting to see if they could pull a player from the northern hemisphere or South Africa over. If you are replacing Hunt, you do want to bring in someone in with a similar level of experience.

I'm surprised the Highlanders didn't go after Jackson Garden-Bachop

Nah, pass on that. we already have two older mid-level battlers. Don't need to add a third.

Aren’t the Highlanders full of battlers? One more wouldn’t hurt.

@Canes4life Why are you recommending another franchise to sign a player that you desperately wanted the Hurricanes to get rid of?

Because I feel the Canes three options at first five are arguably better than JGB, whereas I’m not sure all the Landers first fives are better than JGB. Doesn’t really matter anyway, he’s in Japan.

Rhys Marshall on a number of different topics. A good read.

Yes. So we don't want another shit player.

@SouthernMann I'd take him. At least he can kick better than my 10yo nephew.

Pretty amazing that the landers didn’t try to get Joane or Gatland back.
One of them is likely to be in the stands for the Chiefs (assuming Dmac at 10) and would be first choice at the landers.

You don’t have many options I’m afraid.

Just hearing news that the Highlanders have signed a new first five from Wales. Announcement coming sometime this month I’m assuming..

-
@HLD2023Champions Hell, looks like even the guys starting for Taihape Pirates and Marton Athletic must have turned them down.
-
@FakatavaAllBlack pretty certain he’s a lock.
