Highlanders 2023

What could be the bad highlanders news that Irish Paul is alluding to for later today? If it's player movement guess crusaders will announce Lio-Willie or maybe something like Garden Bachop replacing Goosen at the canes? ( 2nd guess is out of thin air)

@FakatavaAllBlack Where did you see that?

[SouthernMann]

@Tim

It is on his Twitter. Either the rumoured players going to the Crusaders or an established player leaving.

'Bad news to follow later today'

[Tim]

Aha. Thanks.

Let me take a punt on "Fakatava to the Blues".

They'll be announcing Hotham to the Saders, I assume, or has that been announced?

i hope thats all it is....after gatland and ioane going in quick succession leaving us super light in an area i wouldnt be surprised to loose all our halfbacks

edit: the highlanders still claiming Hotham so hopefully that is the difference

Congratulations to all 7 Highlanders u20s players named in the All Blacks u20s team against Fiji in Brisbane 🙌
With Fabian, Hayden, Noah, Cam, Jake and Finn starting and Oliver on the bench there is a strong Highlanders influence on this team 💪 
The future is bright ✨

I'll say it again, i would 100% buy that jersey

@Kiwiwomble do think Hotham will take Hall's place at the crusaders, as for halfback depth we'll be fine Fakatava loves being a Highlander man!! Knocked back several offers early last yr to move & a key reason being his father back in Tonga told him to be Loyal🙂

We need them…

[Stargazer]

@macmanus I agree with the last three players, but Miller?

[SouthernMann]

I've mentioned a few times Miller has massive Noakes, Arlidge and at best Parker vibes. Genuine kicking first five. Doesn't offer anything past that.

No Not Millar he is average.Hurley and Michaels especially or another team will snap them up.

[macmanus]

@Stargazer I don’t know what players we can sign at 10. Maybe give him a opportunity next year.

Does Hurley play 10 ? he looks like another D Mac to me.

[macmanus]

@Chris He can

@Chris He can

I would sign him in a heartbeat.

[Bovidae]

Hurley was at 1st 5 for OBHS.

Garden-Bachop heading to the Landers to join his brother ?.
