@Nepia same, especially considering Lam is shooting off soon.

The coach has a hard on for South African wings though it seems. Midget locks, Saffa wings, journeyman loosies, barely NPC level 10s ... seriously WTF is going on in Wellington?
-
@Nepia who knows? I've been scratching my head most of the season in regards to selection.
This Canes side would look alot more potent if we had the likes of Rayasi, Aumua, IWL, Toala, Flanders and a good first five in the 23.

Hammet is looking for a new gig isn't he?
Damn, I really want to know what @Canes4life's two posts to you were.

@taniwharugby Carlos first played for Horowhenua as a 17 year-old. in 1992. 28 years later and he can still play a decent standard of club Rugby.
-
From a media article about club rugby in Hawke's Bay, I understand that:
Jonah Lowe played on the wing for Clive and scored two tries; and
Danny Toala came off the bench and played well at fullback for Hastings.No mention of Isaia Walker-Leawere in the article, so I don't know whether he played this weekend.
-
@Stargazer I know this isn’t the right topic but what are your thoughts on Visignia signing for the Bay this NPC?
The form he was in when he left was really good maybe the Canes could grab him to take Lams free space.
-
@mikey07 In the Magpies 2020 thread you can read the info from the HBRU about the signing. I think the "add size" argument may be spot on. Although I normally have reservations about bringing in players from outside the province, if that's what the coaches were looking for and they couldn't find a good, big wing in the Bay (that may have to do with our demographic), he may be a good addition.
You always have to wait and see how well a player plays after returning from overseas, but if he goes well, who knows, he might be a candidate to replace Ben Lam at the Canes?
-
@Stargazer we already have a ready made replacement for Lam - Salesi Rayasi.
Went to the game before and Walker-Leawere was helping out with the warmups, so not sure what the play is with him.
-
@Canes4life That depends entirely on whether Rayasi still wants to go to the Olympics, or not.
-
@Stargazer this is true. I wonder if Van Wyk will stay on aswell.
