Let's not make crazy statements.

The bar is low for crazy statements. But Dawai. That is a step too far

As I say you could be right, but if I know anything about Jamie Joseph, that sounds like a sack of horseshit.
this is a conditional?

@frugby yeah, i do find it a little hard to believe, we're not talking about luring DC out of retirement to come to dunedin
Just AC down there? I can only imagine Dunedin with solar cells, LEDs, electric cars, and computers!

@upthelanders said in Highlanders 2025:
@frugby Can confirm they have promised a bench spot, but that could always change!
This isn’t club footy. ‘Bench spots’ aren’t promised at this level, especially to a winger. JJ promising a bench spot… that would be the day.
It can’t just be me that doesn’t really care if Michael Manson is in the squad or not…

@fruggerby said in Highlanders 2025:
Heard they are looking for a 3rd 10 as well and are looking for experience in that spot with Dan Hawkins and Baden Kerr on the priority list
The same Dan Hawkins you said was going to be in the All Blacks XV in that leaked squad you posted? Hahaha

@Landers92 have to find something to talk about between now and February

We are creating a bench bomb squad. Vikena, Howden, some big prop, Lasaqa, Hurley and Mason. Here comes the bomb squad!

It is all about impact.

google tells me he's S & C coach for Highlanders and Otago
He was....
New (old) S&C coach Andrew Beardmore incoming.
JJ getting his old Sgt at arms back into the fold...and the boys are shiting themselves apparently. -

Few guys carrying injuries who should be in the squad. Wonder if we will see a few lads named when the squad is confirmed. Guys like Sanders, Lowe, Gilbert, JRK, Nareki, Te Hiwi, M Whaanga (I'm non-fussed if he returns) have all been on the shelf injured. Wouldn't be surprised if at least Lowe and Sanders are out, and don't return. Especially our bench promises made to the specialist right winger, Manson. Tupou potentially for Sanders. Peni could come in as midfield cover. Byron Smith for Gilbert. May be the young Canterbury fullback if JRK takes some time to return. Josh Augistine and Tayne Harvey will likely train with the squad. Neither should play Super next year though. Some of those young Ta$man and Counties backs may be worth a look too.

Does anyone have a timeline on the injured blokes? I thought Lowe was back training. While I can’t imagine JRK plays super next year with a broken neck. Interested if anyone has the scoop
Expect updates will come when they name the squad. Paul Cully did an article after the injury occurred, and a Highlanders spokesperson said they were waiting on an update. Hasn't been checked up on since. It is my hope Lowe doesn't return. Just from. Purely selfish perspective. Doesn't add a lot. From a player welfare perspective, will be a good story to see him back.
