    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.

    @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.

    @HLD2023Champions Hell, looks like even the guys starting for Taihape Pirates and Marton Athletic must have turned them down.

    Are there no young local locks around? Where is Charles Alaimalo now? He is tall enough to play there.
