@frugby it’s exciting in some areas, but unfortunately the reality is we are going to be looking at a very similar season to last season, if not worse.
An injury to one of the very few key players we now have left and we are in trouble.
In saying that, I am excited by what is being built and the key here is making sure we retain the young talent being invested in. Sprinkled with a signing here and there and who knows where we could be in another year or 2. Let’s hope!
I don't think it is a season like last. If we keep the key signings fit, we'll go fine, because our issue has never been in the forwards, it has been the backs and an inability to score tries.

Hey team, just an update on the Highlanders player signings. I’m almost certain they’ve signed 118kg Tongan Flanker Lui Naeata. 29 years old, played most of his rugby in Japan.
Cheers.

@Daffy-Jaffy 30s of the intro is him standing with hands on hips, then cut to after a try and him throwing the ball, but we don't get to see the try. That's as far as I got. I'm disappointed I gave the creator a click.

@Bones You are a bit tough on an amateur uploader with 40 subscribers making an editing mistake. I didn't realise you were a youngster from the Tiktok no attention span generation. A pity because you missed some nice highlights of a player new to most of us.

@Daffy-Jaffy sorry bro no offence 😉

Not sure if any Highlanders fans noticed that Nogusta mentioned in the Blues thread a few days ago that Edward Annandale the Auckland Lock may be going to the Landers. Another rumour for ya.

Will probably explain why he played for NZ Barbarians against NZ Heartland on Saturday amongst a number of Otago club players.

Could be totally overthinking this, but what are the odds that these images are based off the new kits. Seems like we might be heading back towards a proper royal blue rather than the navy that has been used from 2014 onwards. I think we are also going to be seeing names on the back of shirts...

@frugby the Highlanders social media guy/videographer is a former colleague of mine. I’ve asked him if they are the new jerseys. Will let you know when he confirms.

Jesus mate, you belong in an asylum. That's not how it's done.
We want extremely vague details you can roll back or say were meaning the opposite of what they appeared to mean.

@frugby can confirm the jerseys in the cartoon above are not the new jerseys. He was just playing around and having a bit of fun.
He also said that they've done some content with the new jerseys, and they are apparently looking slick.
