How is Jackson Hemopo going these days? Might be useful as a power lock.

[Kiwiwomble]

@tim always rated Hemopo, would take him back in a second

Bit short isn’t he ?

According to Wiki 195cm and 112kg
So not that big for a Lock not bad for a 6 .

Looks like he’s been measured by the same guy that did Adam Thompson.

[Kiwiwomble]

looks pretty similar to Scott Barrett whos down as about 197cm

….and taller even though he’s looking down.

You must give me the name of your optometrist

[Kiwiwomble]

yes, barrett looks taller than hemopo in that pic...but the numbers say that he is....so im not sure what the issue is

[Nepia]

Too tall for the Canes though.

Campbell Parata is off to the Western Force

Yeah him ...

... who's he?

[ARHS]

@bobily2 Shame, he looks a quality 10. Thought an NZ franchise might have picked him up. Might be the making of him now.

I was disappointed the Crusaders didn’t pick him up,
Instead of Hickey,Parata could be a decent player in the future.

Not sure - the Facebook post didn't mention contract duration. There is only one news site that has reported it, but its behind a pay wall. The article headline could suggest its just this year.

[Yeetyaah]

@bobily2 2022-2024 I believe it said somewhere

[cgrant]

@yeetyaah
Giving him some play time is good for him but I hope he won't finish with the 10 jersey of the Wallabies ! The NZRFU should bring him back home : the sooner the better. I only saw him play once but he made a strong impression on me. He oozes class.

[Nepia]

That contract length suggests he's going to declare for Oz. I remember when he signed with Crusaders his management saying he was always going to come back to NZ though (from high school in Oz) but I guess things can change in 3 years.
