Correct me if I'm wrong but presently the roundup from this thread is
- One more prop to be signed. No Oil so far.
- Lucas Casey being chased.
- Hugh Renton may not be returning
- TUJ to the blues?
- Felitoni Peni being chased by Highlanders
- Reesjan Pasetoa being looked at
- Xavier Titio Harris signing
- Manson & Lowe likely not returning.
- Jacomb being chased.
Do we have any updated oil on squad beyond this? Or updates on these rumours?

Had to google Ressjan Pasetoa. Does he exclusively play 10? Because it looks like he doesn’t place kick?
-
I doubt Peni wants to play for the Landers if he has a choice up north. It is where his family is.

Tito-Harris follows two Super teams on Insta. The Blues and the Landers.

Got confirmation. Xavier Tito-Harris has signed with the Highlanders on a 2 year deal.
2024 outside backs:
JRK, Gilbert, Hurley, Lowe, Manson, Nareki, Tangitau
2025 outside backs:
JRK, Solomon, Hurley, Tito-Harris, Tangitau, Nareki and still one more?
A real lift in quality and some quality strike weapons to pick from. I wouldn't be surprised if we bring Filimone back in.
-
Wow thats quality. If i was JRK right now, i would be spending the next 6 months becoming a high ball specialist. If he stays healthy next year hes in with a real shot at the next step

Very happy to see Charles Gibbon extend his ownership stake. Patrick Harrison seems like someone with a secure financial position as well. Will expect to see the carpet matching the drapes at Landers HQ and Harrisons across our kit.

Rumours are that Frizzell will be a Highlander apparently Joseph has made the call.
Which show did Sam Casey/lashes say this on?
Published content has him staying in Japan for the next league one season. https://www.rugbypass.com/news/shannon-frizell-postpones-all-blacks-homecoming/

Yes, Blackadder has confirmed he’s staying hasn’t he?

Watch the RWC final and read about his off field behaviour.

1/20 games he’s good? The rest is a mess of inconsistency. Probably one of the biggest wasted talents in the past 4-5 years
-
@jimmyb Sorry gonna have to disagree with that. We’ve got two wanna be Frizzell’s in the All Blacks right now. Parker and Finau.
