    i hope we're not promising players bench spots, the last thing we need is anyone that doesnt have to prove themselves, wage thief's are far too common

    @upthelanders I mean always possible, but seems highly implausible they'd offer a Manson a bench spot, when he is only our 5th best outside back (at best) and is a straight rookie... forgetting the fact a 6-2 split is possible and we have a trillion midfielders.

    All good he is in the squad. I wish him all the best. Like @frugby having a specialist right winger on the bench sounds like a weird decision. I suspect we will be making Hurley/Gilbert our bench 10 cover.

    Reece actually plays on the left wing as well he did when Fihaki started on the right wing.

    @frugby Can confirm they have promised a bench spot, but that could always change!

    My 2c is that he is a good upgrade on Jonah Lowe as the final winger in the squad.

    fuck are you lucky that the Hawkes Bay nuffies all took their balls and went home or your notifications would be blowing up

    I'll rub Hugh Renton's bald head to keep me safe from the rabid pitch fork brigade from the HB

    As I say you could be right, but if I know anything about Jamie Joseph, that sounds like a sack of horseshit.

    @frugby yeah, i do find it a little hard to believe, we're not talking about luring DC out of retirement to come to dunedin

    Well they don’t have any reason what so ever to delay announcing it to the public

    Heard they are looking for a 3rd 10 as well and are looking for experience in that spot with Dan Hawkins and Baden Kerr on the priority list

    @RugbyGuru Would still get more effort out of these old dogs and at least wouldn’t look like they’re wading through mud like that faleafaga guy

    The bar is low for crazy statements. But Dawai. That is a step too far
