    @SouthernMann Anscombe?

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

    @Stargazer?

    @gt12 He's still playing for Ospreys. Unless he gets an early release from his contract, it can't be him.

    @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 shitty NPC winning rejects

    That sounds a really good shout, after he lost his contract.

    The Worcester Warriors were liquidated.

    @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.

    @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?

    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.

    Having seen more than a couple of clips of Lowe, rockstar is well down the list.
