@Bovidae so they can rest cirikidaveta and shalfoon?
Shalfoon is also injured, as are Parkinson, Strange and Max Hicks. We also don't have Frizell, whom we've often used at lock - so with five locking options out, we've signed a replacement.
While you guys wet your pants in fear, I think I'll wait and see how Isaac goes. A 35 year old who's spent 10 years playing in Japan....

@antipodean will be stoked at the Wellington/Otago appointment
That appointment seems a bit strange in that Mr. Gardiner will have to undergo the 14 day isolation period before he can ref. Perhaps he has come here to get a number of first class games under his belt, something unavailable to him in Aus where it is just Club rugby at present, until getting some RC games to ref, assuming the Boks and Argies turn up.

exactly my point, no normal team can do this
although if this South China Lions comes to fruition, perhaps Beijing of Plenty?

Why not?
You could give Wyatt Crockett or Tim Perry a ring - though Wyatt just bought a new sports shop in Richmond, so he's probably a bit busy.
Though in fairness, the ex- Ta$man prop you probably should target is Tristan Moran, whom you were fucking happy to poach back in the day, when Tew was trying to get rid of us.

@Chris-B I knew there was a reason I didn't completely dislike Steve Tew

Seems like there's probably quite a few unemployed ex-ABs floating around.
Waikato picked up Messam and Counties picked up Read - and they're both quite ordinary teams.
(I can't believe how funny I am!)

Weber has an out clause so hopefully he uses it, kinda done with him at the Chiefs. Roe would be a great pick up. Be keen on another rookie as well, Ratima looks good, Carter has trained with the Chiefs last year.
Carter played in the Chiefs' preseason game in Waihi earlier in the year, on the wing no less.
He is younger than Roe, Milo-Harris being a couple of years older than both. M10 Cup form might be the decider as Roe will get to play against both. -
