@Bones I know I’ve said this before but my sources say he has I also have read and article saying he has.
who has what?
-
@Kiwiwomble that Vaahakolo has a contract I think he referred to earlier as well?
If you click on the name in the red circle in a post it shows which post they were responding to.
-
@taniwharugby yeah, i know that, but Bones actually talked about two different people, Mckay and Vahaakolo
If he was refering to Vahaakolo, i'd love to see the article, everything ive seen say the Landers asked him to come down and earn a spot, i havent seen anything offical yet, and signing a reasonably high profile outside back could be an issue
-
According to this article, Folau Fakatava still has one year on his Highlanders contract.
Also good to read that he wasn't poached. He tried for 3 years to get a scholarship in NZ, before he finally got 3 offers. Persistence. On his part. Not scouts.
-
@Stargazer thats good to hear, i thought i'd read it was only through to 2020
-
@Stargazer the last hairdressing 9 went pretty well beyond M10 Cup....
-
@Kiwiwomble Just to clarify I can’t recall where I saw the article about Vaahakolo might have been stuff
-
@Duluth yes he was , went off the rails and went to Melbourne where Dale McLeod pulled him back to Northland ..McLeod also coached him at club level in Christchurch., had Northland held onto Macleod , Alaimalo and Fletcher Smith would have gone to Northland, both played in the same Christchurch club team ..Smith traveled up to Whangarei to check out the facilities, but decided against it when McLeod moved on

cant help but think Sio would be better on the wing, less chance to take someone head off and his tendency is to run wide, even 13 i think, push wide to meet up with the wing.....i just dont know in what way he's a 12
I think collins 12 and sio 13 worked well
-
@Kiwiwomble no way? Surely not
-
@family-man no confirmation of a contract renewal at least...and i think you would announce if your captain was staying
-
Jack Whetton off to the Tahs next season, good for him. Thought he played well for us this year so would have been happy to see him stay
-
Tony Brown didn't really announce new signings on The Breakdwon. He talked about Fetuli Paea as a new signing, and the importance of the experience of some players, Aaron Smith in particular. I hoped for new names.
Interesting how he also mentioned that they were talking to a player, only to find out other coaches were also talking to him. I have the distinct feeling that this was about Fakatava, but his name wasn't mentioned.

Wasn't there some talk about the Highlanders signing Liam Squire? I wondered whether that was part of his reference to experience?
