I’ve just seen a headline saying Joseph has resigned, anyone heard likewise? It was a site I’d never heard of before
Sounds like one out of the click bait realm. Would be a real shocker from him. Sack the coach who is in place. Put yourself in and then quit before the season. What a scandal that'd be.
Hope so, did try and read it and there was talk about him negotiating over the last couple of months and the Highlanders not for filling conditions of him coming back…but no details and if it hasn’t made it to reputable sources then think it’s all made up for clicks
Fascinating off season rumour. What conditions did the Landers fail to meet? From what can be read into externally, seems he has got everything he has wanted.
Would be very surprising if true, as Jamie lives in Dunedin and family is all based there, he also didn't continue with Japan due to these reasons, would have to be something controversial at HQ going on.

Him and Rog Clark are good mates from all accounts, and he has mates and old team mates on the board/ownership group. He'd also be on an NZR salary now too as the head coach.

very glad to see nothing seems to have come from it, just popped up on the socials whilst travelling over the break so didn't get the chance to read the whole thing, just the lede, certainly swinging for the fences as far as wild offseason rumour

@Kiwiwomble would be pretty bloody annoying, considering we've leant into his smaller more mobile second row approach at the expense of taller options at lock.

I don't really know why this has gotten so much airtime. I can categorically say this is a bullshit rumour from a website that is probably a scam lol.

Yeah mate, we all know, it's January, keeping the discussion moving.

no one is actually arguing that its not rubbish, its only 7-8 post in the offseason so hardly loads of airtime

In other news JRK is in Dunedin and was at training yesterday. Unsure whether he is training to any level.
@frugby dont know why youre being a bit weird about it, i saw a headline and asked if anyone knew anything else, generally accepted as rubbish and so we move on. the chance someone had resigned is just ever so slightly different to JFK coming back form the dead and deciding to play rugby in Dunedin
half this thread is people talking about rumours they'd heard and looking for confirmation of rebuttal
-
Out of curiosity. Do you have a link to the story?

@SouthernMann i tried to re find it (when i had the time to read it) but no luck which just supports the idea it was rubbish and probably taken down
Edit: more thorough search found the post, now on my comp even the link looks dodgy

its just a highlanders fans group of facebook, but no real need to check it out

Hopefully. That way any talk of "Brick Wall Defence" Stevenson going to loig can end.

Highlanders social media still on holiday? Must be the only NZ team not posting anything from training at the moment.
On JRK, he isn’t training with the intent of playing just yet. Only rehab at this stage. Still no word on whether he will play this super season or not.

@Landers92 think we are the only team without a dedicated social media person... which is braindead behaviour. There is an outsourced company + an independent who makes a few graphics.
@frugby sounds about right, until we truely know thats this social media thing will take off i dont see the point in really committing to it, maybe we have the photocopier running making some fliers

My mate is no longer the social media guy there so the Landers have probably gone from having the best content to nothing.

@Canes4life can we ask if your mate decided to leave or did the Landers decide not to have a dedicated person?
