Highlanders 2021

@Stargazer i do like combinations sticking together, if hunt is 10 back up and we're tlaking about a third choice that might not get a lot of game time i wouldn't mind someone young and local like when we had quasie

[Stargazer]

Here's the official announcement by the Highlanders:

Media release: http://thehighlanders.co.nz/media-centre/news/1033-maori-all-black-signs-deal-with-highlanders-for-2021

[Kiwiwomble]

he might need a little media training, telling the media his old club didn't want him and so he didn't have a choice but to sign....

[cgrant]

Z. Kapeli did not play a single minute this year, which is surprising since he was very good for Tonga at the RWC. He could cover the openside in case of need.

[Bones]

This can go here.

[shark]

Can we get Lentjes back then?

Boy I enjoyed that

Two points, Kees with some good runs for the first couple!

Two of our best every tries were in the 2013 season...our wrorst ever season

Only if you take 2020 Thompson

[MajorRage]

That was great watching. Kees my favourite prop ever.

The solo Fekitoa try is still one of the best individual tries I've seen.

[Bones]

@MajorRage I'd completely forgotten it, ridiculous ghosting through gaps.

I can't think up a compelling reason to disagree with Mauger given the boot ( so to speak)

[Yeetyaah]

Head coach Hammer.

[Kiwiwomble]

i hope we have someone else lined up, i think he was showing enough progress to be a better option than some late desperate appointment

article mentioned 3 wins from 9 games...wasnt there 8 games?

[Machpants]

@Kiwiwomble Yeah I agree, where is the next super coach? He could do a Tana and stay as assistant, he's another AB star promoted too fast IMO

[Bones]

Hammer and Mauger disappeared in 2020. Shining light! Up to you Tony.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bones he's said before he doesnt want to top job and i dont think we want him doing a one years stint again, hope his plans have changed

Gatland to team up with his son for a season at the Highlanders while Hammer fixes the Chiefs culture for a season before Gatland returns in 2022?
