What he reported is extremely specific. I think we can take him at his word.

Discussion of Kirifi ahead of Papalii, suggesting that Paps may have reached his peak and they want to see someone else (is @chchfanatic actually Lashes?)
In this part, btw, it did seem that this was his analysis and not necessarily sauce.

Papali'i's problem is he doesn't have a natural position so he just ends up being another of these hybrid loosies
Throw in how Papalii pretty much got dropped for the second half of the last test season and it makes sense.

Cheers @george33
At 6:15 here:
According to this, Hoskins was asked to attend and said "I'm all good thanks, I'll chill".
Thanks for that. The context is important - it looks like he's just asked to hold tackle bags while other loose forwards are given time off.
Then the hosts go full retard suggesting the Blues should be done with him.
-
@KiwiMurph yeah definitely, but others , have said different,

Interestingly, we've had talk about the coaches saying that CLW is too small (@Chris ?) but here the guy was saying that the coaches love him and thinks he'll be picked if he plays well this weekend.

Not sure what you are asking I never said that he was too small or the coaches said that.?

Interesting talk, thanks for suggesting it @george33
It will be interesting to see how these points stack up.
You'd have to think that Sotutu is leaving, no-one can be dumb enough to not go, even if you are only going to hold tackle bags.
End of the segment is interesting - he's running down Clayton McMillan and questioning his attitude / egotism (basically saying that he's got tickets on himself and can't back it up).
Suggests that there are some issues with the way he's leaving the Chiefs too...

Might not be you, but someone has said that they heard from others that the coaches think he is too small

He should focus on blindside, I reckon he'd go best there with his skillset.

Sam Casey is his real name.
He was the guy who was on the piss with Jordie in Dunedin when he was smashing late night maccas in the lounge of a random flat.
He is also the guy who pissed off Alice Soper by saying women's rugby is shit, and no one cares.
Used to run a Dunedin club page, was the producer of The Country, and will still have playing rugby contacts.

@SouthernMann ok, is he reliable, or not
-
No im not lashes. He has good oil but only from other players. Barrett’s McKenzie , ALB
-
Casey is reliable. Bit of a plank of a bloke though.
-
@Steven-Harris Hoskins turned down, camp and said no, really,
@george33 politely declined
Makes you wonder if he’s heading offshore or has no time for the current coaching staff -
@Steven-Harris any other uncapped Canes or Blues players there this week?
@handa457 heard Tavatavanawai is in Tauranga and his numbers are out the gate
