[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae kinda shit of him eh, Southland give him a shot and after the assault charge they kept him and now he's fucked off.

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah McMillan might be trying to convince him to play for the Chiefs.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae man I really hope not. Don't get me wrong, he's a talented guy, but I can't see past his conviction.

yeah, its the first think I think of every time he's mentioned

"Included was an “outstanding” signing which might “shock” a few people, MacLeod said."

I wonder who that is?

The obvious answer is Solomon Alaimalo.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bovidae that's what I was wondering but figured it would have been annouced

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae In other news:

Meanwhile, loose forward Charles Aliamalo is preparing to leave New Zealand to take up a short-term contract with Italian club Zebre.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer so one Alaimalo out, another in (probably)

[bobily2]

The article says he should be back around June

[Bovidae]

Charles going to Italy as he mustn't be part of the Highlanders WTG.

@Bovidae Selby- Rickett will be an ALL Black he has some mongrel about him,on the Field hopefully in the Future.If I was McMillan I would snap him up in a heartbeat.

he has some mongrel

well duh, and yep that will follow him.

[Steven Harris]

absolutely gutted for Southland ..in my opinion the Highlanders needed to work with the Southland union to keep Selby Rickit at the Highlanders ..would it not be better to have 2 strong unions that make up the Highlanders ..?.a little miffed at the player himself after Southland stood by him during his trial .🤔..So much for the investment in your under 19s that took out the National under 19 tournament BOP..

[Bones]

@Steven-Harris isn't he still at the Highlanders?

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bones that's what I was going to say

[taniwharugby]

is his contract for beyond 2021? If not, you have to assume the logical next step is Chiefs?
