TJ signed 2 year contract still wants his all black jersey back the club rate him very highly

Machpants

It's good to have quality back up, last year TJ was (by the end of it) easily #2 in NZ and in some ways better than Smith, who has become like his coach Pass yup, kick OK, run no thanks. Roigard will learn a lot

Seems to be confirmed online now @Canes4life

I really hope this doesn't impact whether Roigard stays or not. As big a Canes legend as TJ is Roigard is our starter now if he's around.

I don't think Laidlaw would be silly enough to put all his cards on TJ and lose Roigard. He should be re-signed with no guarantees that he retains his no1 position.

Good to have him back and firing though. But Canes must sign a better no3 than Booth as who knows what TJ will be like now. He might be like Coles that is out more than he's playing

@Winger a one-two punch of Roigard and Perenara could be a real weapon for the Canes. Perenara still has plenty to offer at Super level and he will be influential coming on with 20 mins to go, especially in the big games.

TJ officially signs on.

This is in no way confirmed but I heard it's Hienz. Apparently Roigard is going to the Saders so it's a direct swap.

TJ all day as the 2024 starting halfback. How good.

Not true. I've heard from my contact thats its actually a top French HB with the initials AD. He wants a years SR experience after the RWC. But that's all I can say. Roigard is staying too.

@Winger I heard it is a former AB coming out of retirement after he lost his commentating gig.

george33

That is disappointing to hear he is staying. Could have been a fantastic addition to a very talented Chiefs outfit. Hopefully he changes his mind.

Yeetyaah

I'm actually playing 9 for the Canes next year, I haven't played since I left school 11 years ago and also only played lock and loose forward, but I'm stoked to be signing on with the Canes.

SouthernMann

@Yeetyaah congrats mate. That is awesome. Best of luck.

George has posted that's hes moving to the chiefs. BerhamporeNinja I think said his contact said he wasn't. We will see

I prefer teams to leave good starting players in other teams alone. And to develop their own players. Or pick up non starters. For example PUJ but hands off Roigard.

SouthernMann

Hamilton just has a lot more going on than Upper Hutt.

Canes4life

@SouthernMann lol are you recycling jokes now?

foobaNZ

@Canes4life no shit! Didn't know that. I always go down the right hand side so didn't notice.
