Highlanders 2021

@Kiwiwomble runs hard and tackles hard I think it is, according to @Chris
Basically Tomkinson without the red cards from what I've seen.

Yeah I like him good signing with some game time under his belt he will be a good pickup.
-
@Duluth does he not, thought he might have done enough towards the back end of the season but maybe not
-
There was a stuff article on it. Not renewed by the Highlanders and not picked up by another team yet

i do find this kind of stuff annoying about professional rugby, highlanders havent really given him a lot of chances before this season, one or two games here and there when bender had to be rested etc
gets a bit more game time this year...rough to start with, absent in some games, struggled to connect with the rest of the back lines in others....but i kind of see some of that as understandable settling in...then the last few games really seemed to settle...far from perfect but at 22 i thought he might have been more of a long term project
and its not like many of the others we tried on the wing did much better

@Kiwiwomble , have heard much of Josh McKay’s issues revolve around his attitude, has not been doing the work required for the coaching staffs liking ..I have heard the Highlanders are very close if not already to signing Solomon Alaimalo .
-
@Steven-Harris that's interesting, if you'd told me that prior to SRA I could believe it, but he came on leaps and bounds in the comp. Alaimalo would be an adequate replacement I guess...
He could be very dangerous working off the space Joane creates.
-
@Bones be extra space where Tomkinson usually is too.
-
@Bones maybe a case in McKay’s form of too little too late for the coaching staff, has to be more to it..Alaimalo will a great pick up for the landers

He was destined to be captain if Mauger stayed.

yeah, think im done with Sio, as stoked as i was to have someone from Otago Boys playing...he doesn't do enough to justify the number of chances hes been given
@Steven-Harris hadn't heard that, can i ask where you're hearing that? it would explain much as he was in position to be Benders understudy

Alaimalo? Solomon Alaimalo is still under contract with the Chiefs for 2021; moving franchises during his current contract?
