J Ioane certainly burnt bridges, which is why he had his contract cut a year early. Coaches went off him after the boozy incident... and lets not forget when T Brown made the comment about shorts size on the breakdown... Could be different with Dermody, but more likely he either stays with the Chiefs or even more likely goes overseas. As he isn't playing for Otago, I'd suggest the latter.
He also isn't the answer everyone hopes he would be - if he was, we never would have let him go in the first place. Too inconsistent with serious gaps in his kicking game, and prone to brainfades. He effectively cost the Chiefs at the end in their loss v the Reds by trying to stop the ball with his foot as opposed to picking it up.

Didn't impress me one bit in any outings. Yuck.

He's a speed bump

-
thats what various infoweb sites have him listed as....and i remember him being pretty light weight
seriously though, unless he is miles better than who we can bring through otago and southland i dont see the point, i mean, we had him last year and let him go...its not like hes an unknown entity....i know my expectations arent high but go i hope we can do better than someone thats play a bit at 10 in club rugby elsewhere in the country

@Kiwiwomble I'm not saying LCF is a big winger but he isn't lighter than Aaron Smith. Probably closer to 90 kg. As a comparison Nareki is listed as 1.75 m and 83 kg.
-
Imagine a back three of Finn Hurley, Liam Coombes-Fambling and Nareki. Would probably be close to the smallest back three in Super history

@SouthernMann Caleb Clarke might actually score a few tries running at that lot.
-
@Canes4life lets not get carried away...he didn't even get past scott gregory.....

@Chris where are "offical" stats?
