    I wonder if Blake Gibson and Isia Punivai are going to turn up at the Highlanders now.

    @Kiwiwomble ...is that strangely laid out? the forwards seem a bit randomly listed

    not upset about Millar...but he seems very much like a replacement for Banks, a kicking 10...so not sure we need Banks

    I dont mind Paea, thought he looks very good in his first preseason before injury, hopefully we see that again

    You know things are dog tucker when you have to retain players like Paea and Dawai. Might as well lock us in as whipping boys now. What a joke of a squad. Knew most of it was coming, just hoped some of the rubbish would be moved on.

    Most other teams depth squad embers would walk straight into our 23. A lot of our 23 wouldn't make other squads. A really said looking squad.

    The Highlanders should have promoted some of their U20 backs now.

    @Bovidae seeing as though we've only got four Midfielders 1 of which is regularly on the sidelines, we'll probably see Jake te Hiwi feature during the season

    IS DLB converting to hooker?

    Another disappointing aspect. I would have thought Abraham Pole should have been a lock in over the top of DLB.

    Yeah, he was one of the players I was thinking of. Faleafaga being the other.

    He can play 10, 12 or 15. I think he is probably best at 10/12 might not have the top end speed for 15. I'm just concerned Millar doesn't have the out and out play making ability to stand out at Super level. A similar prospect to a Banks or Garden-Bachop. While I feel Faleafaga is more likely to create something. The other guy is young Finn Hurley, who must be about 70kg wringing wet. Would get smoked at this level.

    @SouthernMann dont get equating CGB and Banks...CGB has been a bit of a standout when fit over the last couple of years
