Are there no young local locks around? Where is Charles Alaimalo now? He is tall enough to play there.
Doesn't it make sense to pick one of the better young players in the country in the position?

@SouthernMann Anscombe?

@SouthernMann Anscombe?
That would be a huge pick-up, but I assume he is under contract somewhere.

@SouthernMann I'd take him. At least he can kick better than my 10yo nephew.
Pretty amazing that the landers didn’t try to get Joane or Gatland back.
One of them is likely to be in the stands for the Chiefs (assuming Dmac at 10) and would be first choice at the landers.
i guess we dont know they didn't try, both guys left for a reason so might not want to come back
I always thought Ioane might be a chance, still playing for otago so he cant hate dunners

Campbell Parata could be worth a go, seeing as it seems he missed out on a Force contract.
Could be interesting to see if they could pull a player from the northern hemisphere or South Africa over. If you are replacing Hunt, you do want to bring in someone in with a similar level of experience.
I'm surprised the Highlanders didn't go after Jackson Garden-Bachop
Nah, pass on that. we already have two older mid-level battlers. Don't need to add a third.
Aren’t the Highlanders full of battlers? One more wouldn’t hurt.
Yes. So we don't want another shit player.
You don’t have many options I’m afraid.
I'll take nothing instead of your

Owen Williams
That sounds a really good shout, after he lost his contract.
-
@SouthernMann why did he lose it?

The Worcester Warriors were liquidated.

@SouthernMann cool, mind jumped to some personal drama

Just hearing news that the Highlanders have signed a new first five from Wales. Announcement coming sometime this month I’m assuming..
To replace Hunt ?

Martin Bogado.
Anyone found out who this guy replaces in the squad as 38 were named originally.

@Stargazer said in Highlanders 2023:
@Chris I don't think he's anyone's replacement as he's been signed for two years.
AHH so they have a squad of 39 and the other squads are 38 seems a bit random.

@Stargazer said in Highlanders 2023:
@Chris Unless one of the guys that is named in the squad doesn't have a full contract?
Or maybe there's an injury, AND they want to keep him for 2024, too?
Strange signing for me anyway,I don't think he is going to be a starting player.

Why not? Back 3 mix of him, Nareki, Gilbert, CGB seems pretty handy to me.

I have seen a couple of clips doesn’t look like a rockstar to me.
Lowe in the mix would be a better bet.
