it's pretty poor squad management if they lose Pierce. He's basically a ready made replacement for Patty T game style wise and has shown in his Super chances he can seriously foot it at this level.
He seems to have all the attributes to be a very good Super Rugby player, it's strange why he didn't get more starts especially in the SRA when Patrick was injured. Off field/attitude issues?
Good to see Patrick has signed to 2025, first AB to sign for that long. You could argue he was the difference between the Blues success in SRA to SRTT. He's a big hole to fill.

@tim I hope that Corey Evans will step up to take Faiane's spot. Have no clue about Locks. I would look seriously at Cridge if he stays fit this NPC. There was talk that they were looking overseas for an experienced lock. Also Dalzell trained with them this year so could get a gig if he impresses for Auckland. I really hope Pierce stays around. He deserves a chance at cracking the 23.

Any idea who might be available from foreign ranks?

@daffy-jaffy yea Evans woukd be good because if he makes the blues I reckon it increases the chance of him coming back to Northland 😁

Ask the Canes coaches, they are awesome at recruiting humungous overseas locks

Seems the obvious place for him to go.

Although I hope for a Chief’s miracle against the Blues, I’m looking forward to seeing if RTS can come in and show that he is international quality.

@daffy-jaffy Kneepkens couldn't even get a run this season or Narawa. He's (Leo) probably seen that and doesn't wanna come anywhere near the place! Tele'a hardly had a go either for that matter. Only half a game against the Chiefs really and he didn't go too bad. He be better going to a team likely to play him.

This isn’t nice to say, but fuck Kneepkens a little bit - he would have got time at the Chiefs but went to the Blues where there is/was only one space available if that.
The chiefs have shit wingers and he’d have walked in.
