    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.

    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.

    @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.

    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.

    @frugby Think he’s be better then the likes of Shields given Shields is only slowing down.

    Just commenting to confirm the rumours that TK Howden has signed with the Highlanders are true.

    I think it’s a big loss for the Canes personally has huge potential.

    Yea, I'd rather have kept Howden than an aging Shields tbh. There is enough experience in our squad I don't think the Shields experience is that necessary.

    Aren't we also saying that Delenay is also a potential AB 6, they can't both be the top AB 6 so which player has the most potential?

    Well, at least JGB is already signed elsewhere!

    I don't think they'll play Love at 10. Godfrey is the better option anyway.

    Harkin would be my choice for the squad. Any other NPC 10s floating around not signed up already?

    With Godfrey or Love at 10 I think we in the shit to be honest. Will hurt big time not having an experienced 10.

    Wasn't Godfrey an age grade 10?

    I personally think Cameron's ceiling is kind of low, and, since JGB is signed elsewhere (thank God), this will force us to try a young promising 10. Step up Harkin.

    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.

    How has Cashmore been going? Haven't paid much attention to him tbh.

    That’s almost all the Canes need when they’ve got Roigard at 9 calling a lot of the shots.

    He was a 1st 5 at school but hasn't played there much since then.
