I probably imagined it, but wasn't there some talk about the Chiefs not signing up all of the three current hookers for next year?
I think that was around the Tyrone Thompson rumour. If he has signed then Harris would be surplus to requirements. I was at Chiefs HQ today so maybe I should have asked.

so...Ioane is gone...looking a little light at 10 now
Marty banks is an obvious choice to come in but hardly one for the future
are they looking at Gilbert as a 3rd choice 10? he played one of the preseason halves for otago at 10
there is also Koroi, he's going to get a lot of practice for otago (assuming the NPC starts again)

He's surprisingly young - still 31
Highlanders could gets years out of him
-
@kiwiwomble They may also want to have another look at Caleb Makene, considering he's the one they brought in during SRA.

Won't Gilbert be a bit busy in the midfield?
They should be looking at him as an option at 10 as he has a background there.

Details, details!

Marty Banks has saved the Highlanders and Sam Gilbert from having to strip at 10.
He's back for a third stint with the club.
-
does feel a little bit like a step backwards but a more that reliable option
-
@kiwiwomble interesting option. Thought he would be well past it.
-
@canes4life As @Duluth pointed out hes only 31 and if memory serves has actually been pretty good injury wise...so definitely has a couple of seasons in him...but you'd have to thik Ioane has more potential long term

Looking around at options for 10 atm,not a bad choice IMO.
