Put it in the Highlanders here, but thought I would mention here to. Will Tucker is off to the Canes, TK Howden going the other way to the Highlanders as I understand it.
Damn, the Highlanders have definitely won that IMO. What's Tucker been like lately? He's just seems a bit too skinny to have any real impact.
Howden is a big grab for the Highlanders.

@frugby I thought he was still under contract next year
Yes so did I, but the info I have is that he is coming to the Highlanders. Think with Shield, Flanders, Iose, Lakai, Kirifi ahead of him, he might have looked for an early release.
And with Gallagher coming, they may even look to play Delaney on the blindside.

Can't say I am overly excited by Tucker, but to be fair we've only seen him coached with Donnelly involved, so I'd keep an open mind to it.

It makes perfect sense for Howden to shift. He’s too good a player to not be getting many mins. In fact I reckon he could be an AB 6 in the future, has the size, is a very good defender, solid in the lineout but just needs more opportunity. He’s by far and away the standout forward for the Turbos this year.
If true, it’s a bloody good signing by the Landers.

I don’t like to see players injured but this might be a blessing to the Canes. We need an attacking first five and if it forces Love to go to ten then I’m happy with that. Harkin has looked really good for the Lions in the games he’s started so hopefully he gets picked up aswell.
-
So I’m thinking the three first fives the Canes will be looking at will be:
- Lincoln McClutchie
- Callum Harkin
- Lucas Cashmore

Someone mentioned in the Stuff comments that Lucas Cashmore is heading to the Canes. Anyone know of that rumour?

it could be true Cashmore or Grindley would have to drop out of the Blues squad to bring it down to 38.
if they both stay they have 18 backs and 21 forwards one to many. -

Pretty solid
