Has he managed to stay clear of injury during his time there?

I can't see a french club in particular signing someone who's ravaged by injury. So very likely.

Good on him then, because he couldn't stay healthy in NZ. Maybe Ethan should move to France, might help his career.....

Does anyone have updates on new contracts for any of these players missing super squads?
T Cook Savage, V Tikoisolomone, P Malimali, V Fine, N Grigg, M Whangaa, K Hauiti Parepare, A Lennox, D Pledger, R Rush, J Norris, B Ryall, A Brash, Andrew Smith, Hugo Plummer, D Ropeti, G Cridge, H Burr, J Tucker, S Matenga, A Johnstone, B Kumeroa, J OReilly, T Kolose, L Apisai

Presumably a few of these in Wtg or super cover, but which are signing up offshore now?
Could be slim pickings for super squad replacements later in the season...

Southland had posted on social media that Matt Whaanga, Blair Ryall, and Jacob Payne have all gone to Japan as part of their partnership with one of those clubs. Not sure if they are there for full season or not.

@Trig thanks

He'd last about 20 mins with the extra physicality they play with up there.

A player worth keeping would have been Cunningham-South. He's far better than Frizell IMO.

The Highlander who left after one season of form would be my pick. Played somewhere between Kaino and Read in style.

[SBW1]

@Yeetyaah Wasn't he not that far away from getting an All Blacks cap? He is Aussie born wonder if he is going to commit to the Wallabies.

He did get a test for the ABs.

[Yeetyaah]

One test in 2022 so will be eligible next year

[SBW1]

@Yeetyaah For the Wallabies or Abs?

[Yeetyaah]

@SBW1 he's played a test for the All Blacks in 2022, will be eligible for the Wallabies next year.
