Otago 2020

@Bovidae said in Otago Mitre 10 Cup 2020:

1.96 m for Parete seems very generous. When he played for the Chiefs he didn't look that tall relative to the other loose forwards, and was dwarfed by other locks.

love to see if a "P Jarete" edits that wiki page

@Stargazer said in Otago Mitre 10 Cup 2020:

@Bovidae His profile on the Highlanders website says 1.86m. That seems about right.

His player profile on the Taranaki website says 1.93 m.

Using the eyeball test he looked short for a lock.

@Bovidae i tried to find some pics of him ext to others, couldn't find any good ones

@macmanus josh is down as 2m in a couple of places...1.8 something probably more like it

The friday, North Otago vs Otago XV at Maheno

[Kiwidom]

@NateHill74 Parete is off to Japan apparently

[NateHill74]

@Kiwidom do you have a source ?

@NateHill74

OTD:

Lock and sometimes loose forward Jesse Parete is also thought to be heading for Japan.

Highlanders still have about 10 spots to fill

A couple of the best for the Highlanders this season remain unsigned for next year as other players look to move on. The Highlanders’ season came...

[Yeetyaah]

Count yourself lucky, Parete is garbage.

[NateHill74]

fair enough. That's pretty interesting

[NateHill74]

@macmanus surely, they announce those team lists for the match

[shark]

I'd have picked around 1.92/1.93 so that Taranaki listing seems about right to me. Reuben Thorne was 1.92 I think. It's about the absolute minimum to be able to fill in at lock. I'm looking at you, James Blackwell.

[mikey07]

@NateHill74 Yeah his Wellington contract expired at the end of last ITM Cup and Otago offered him a contract and Wellington hasn’t

[Kiwiwomble]

@mikey07 who are we talking about now?

[mikey07]

@Kiwiwomble Thomas Umaga-Jensen

[Kiwiwomble]

@mikey07 ok cool, thought we'd moved on to Parete

[mikey07]

@Kiwiwomble sorry I was just replying to something I had been tagged in a few days ago.

[NateHill74]

now we're having to mention who we're talking about just because we're talking about different players haha
