Hey team, just an update on the Highlanders player signings. I’m almost certain they’ve signed 118kg Tongan Flanker Lui Naeata. 29 years old, played most of his rugby in Japan.
Cheers.

@frugby oh gosh 🤦 this always happens with the Highlanders, a couple of huge signings in JRK, Tavatavanawi, ect, to guys like Ricky Jackson and Telea 😅
Still hoping there’s a chance we’ve signed Meihana Grindley…
@frugby how true is it that we signed Ricky Jackson? Or are u just guessing?
Don’t forget Millar’s injury aswell
@frugby So who’s the replacement lock for Dunshea?
And there’s two centres to sign, Telea was only rumoured not actually confirmed yet
@Mitchsouljah Agreed, Grindlay is the one to get.
There was talk about us signing Taine Robinson as the first five, but not sure how true those rumours are..
From what I’ve heard, Matt Whaanga has been signed on a full time contract aswell
Man I’d love for the Highlanders to sign Meihana Grindlay.
Hey guys, any new rumoured player’s potentially coming to the landers next year? Apart from Grindley.
Well the Highlanders saying “We’ve got two huge signings this week” hints to me that it’s not going to be players we don’t know of. Especially with “we just know you’re going to love them” following that, meaning they must be well known. Naholo? PUJ?
Seems decent, but apparently struggling with injuries at the moment.. Was just a name to throw out there.
@SouthernMann wouldn’t understand why they’d release a 22 year old guy with heaps of potential that played and started in 4/4 England Under 20 matches in recent years..
@Bones Don’t have a cry about it, search for yourself.. His name is Gabriel Hamer-Webb
I see the Southland Stags announced their squad today. Interesting that they’ve signed a 22 year old outside back from Bath. Could this be the new Highlander.
@mikedogz weird to think the Highlanders didn’t want him at the start of the season, so it’s strange to see him coming back if those rumours are true..
Thr Blues have signed a new lock from France. Does this lead to the rumours of a ‘Blues All Black’ coming to the Highlanders…
Patrick Tuipulotu…
I think it’s time to start a Highlanders 2024 Forum…
Instagram check,
Both TUG and twin brother Peter have unfollowed the Shizuoka Blue Revs..
(Ignore my name I need to change it haha)
Is Lima Sopoaga actually a realistic option for the Highlanders next year as he is off contract with Lyon..
