Just a random thought. With Sio Tomkinson coming off contract in Wales, I wonder if he has any interest in returning home. Would no doubt get some good minutes and push for a starting spot on the midfield so I thought it was worth putting out there. Strong ball carrier and solid on defense, the kind of player we are no doubt looking for.
I was always a big fan of him but discipline was his biggest issue, especially at tackle time. Left NZ young and didn’t reach his potential. Odds on him returning are slim and something like Japan is probably more appealing but it’s worth mentioning he is only 28 and has a fair few good years left yet.
Might be the kind of midfield signing we look to make, nothing ground breaking but someone with Dunedin connections. Worth enquiring anyway with it being pretty slim pickings at midfield around the country.
Probably just wishful thinking on my end but like I said, a player who is off contract and worth mentioning for conversations sake.

@taniwharugby Chiefs
The Chiefs are bringing in Tamati Tua despite having ALB, Poihipi, Tupaea, Rona (and Wrampling, once a season)?
You're not mixing him up with Jahrome Brown?

@African-Monkey pretty sure he is looking to or will be signing a contract in Japan or France as he is using his out clause from his NRU contract.

anyone got any goss as to why we only signed him for one year? our idea? his idea?
Probably because he was constantly injured. It was also mentioned by a good source that he was a cheap signing too
Yea only offered a 1 year on almost the minimum.
Turned down a much better (money wise) extra year at the Blues for more of an opportunity.
I believe he may have re signed w the Landers
Not sure for how long. -
Out of that group I'd be keen on Heremaia Murray, tangitau (even though doesn't sound like it is happening), Sinkinson at a stretch), Bailyn Sullivan and Brewis
I'm hearing Vikena and Tangitau are locked in for the Highlanders
-
Tangitau is an awesome signing for the future. I wonder what story he has been sold by management in terms of gametime. I don't see much or anything between him and the two starting wingers, with him having more long-term potential.

@Tim I'd be very happy with Grant, Howden, Jacomb and Sullivan.
Howden is signed for next year but wouldn’t be surprised if he made the shift after that. Out of all our blindside options I think he has the biggest future because he’s a natural 6 and he’s young but won’t get a chance with Flanders and Shields ahead of him. If he goes anywhere I hope it’s the Landers.

Tangitau is a huge win for the Landers. Damn I was hoping Laidlaw would have targeted him as a replacement for Moorby as he’s coached him in the sevens and under 20s. That’s why I don’t think Sullivan will leave the Canes as there’s a starting spot to play for.
Landers will have some class back three options next year.

A little academic but Naitoa Ah Khoui and Rob Rush were (very) near misses.
Ekuasi could be on the cards though.Sounds like we wont be getting Frizzell hunting all those loosies
