Highlanders 2024
-
Highlanders have re-signed Daniel Lienert-Brown and Hugh Renton until the end of 2025.
DLB could easily be one of the highest capped Highlanders of all time after he finishes up. Pretty cool for a guy who has spent the majority of his career on the bench.
-
@SouthernMann The announcement caught me off guard, because at first I thought it was going to say they were leaving. Pleased they are now revealing contract lengths though.
-
Just good safe players to keep in the group. Will be interesting to see how Renton v Sanders go in the no8 battle. Or whether Broughton will have a stormer for BoP and put himself into contention.

Jamie Joseph Returns to the Highlanders | Highlanders Rugby Club Limited Partnership
They say lightning never strikes in the same place twice, but that is exactly what the Highlanders will be hoping for as they welcome the return of former Head Coach, Jamie Joseph, to Highlanders’ headquarters on a four-year deal.

Glad to have him back involved…but what’s the remit of head of rugby, recruitment?
-
@Kiwiwomble will have a huge role in mentoring/overseeing Dermody i would say.
Great to have quality coaching IP back in NZ.

If you read the article, seems to me he is going to be doing a massive role - taking the jobs of 2.5 I'd think.

Yep to quote the article
The role involves leading the entire Highlanders rugby programme, including recruitment and retention of players, supporting the coaching group and mentoring the Head Coach. -

Does this mean more quality signings?
We only have two spots to fill. A midfield back and a hooker for 2024. For years to come? Probably.

I'm interested to see what he does in the youth player development space alongside Kane Jury. We need those up and comers.
