    I agree with @taniwharugby re Hansen being involved but questions for me are:

    1. Who approached who?
    2. How much was the offer?

    Leaguies painting it as a "win" but I suspect it had as much to do with higher guaranteed dollars for a longer term.

    I'd have been happy if he returned from the dark side but wouldn't have been offering Ben Smith money.

    @booboo not even sure if he would have cut the mustard,in my opinion he’s very suspect defensively and under the high ball..

      really? that's a pretty big call. My early thought was he would have been the right wing pretty quickly.

        Be interesting to see if the Sunwolves can get up this weekend. Rebels were dire last week and in pre-season.

          it was a shit game, but they hammered the rubbish Reds. The Sunwolves aren't better than the Reds.

            Really enjoyed watching the Sunwolves play on Saturday. They look a bit better this year

              @mariner4life They looked shit even for the first 15 or so minutes after the Reds were red-carded. They didn't look comfortable until the Reds were carded again.

              Their win over the 14-man Reds meant nothing.

              The Sunwolves are better than the 14-man Reds.

                  @tim Yeah thought the same about the Rebels. Having said that I think they will improve, they have a decent enough side to do something in the Aussie conference.

                        @tim Geez, another one of their AB forwards injured.

                        It won't happen, but I'd find this the perfect opportunity to shift Taufua to openside and see how he does in the 7 jersey. I don't think he has ever played there, though, so they won't risk it.

                              On this week's Out of the Box podcast, Nigel Yelden said that there are rumours that Kane Hame's "illness" is actually concussion symptoms.

                                Yeah something on Hames's Instagram saying he hadn't been feeling the best lately so he is chilling back home in Nelson till he gets himself right.
