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.

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.

Has anyone been able to find the decision about Slade McDowall's suspension? I can't find it on the M10 Cup website.
I did hear that he got a suspension of 3 weeks and that Koroi was cited, too, but that that citing was dismissed. Would appreciate reading the decisions though.

@Stargazer yeah, havent heard anything and forgot if im homest

I have a lot of sympathy for referees often, but there are as many bad decisions going on as wrong decisions. It's a tough sport, but goddamn we're in a big ebb of quality refs
