      Not sure whether it has been posted before, but Beaudein Waaka has been training with the Melbourne Rebels since the beginning of preseason. I haven't seen any news of him signing with them. He was one of the few stand-outs for Taranaki in 2018, and I'd rather see him at a NZ franchise, but since nobody signed him, good luck to him.

            I agree but where though?

              Back to the Waikato as assistant, coach or director?

                    Those odds on the Tahds look a bit long to me. I'm not convinced that the Canes are that much stronger in the forwards.

                    'Upset' tip is Rebel over Brumbies IMO

                          @Machpants Yeah, it's great! Gives them enough time to prep the next generation to take over in 2022 (Aumua and Kereru-Symes at this stage, IMO).

                            @Stargazer Riccitelli may look elsewhere because of this. I think Coles and Aumua will be 1/2 and with Keruru Symes/Thompson coming through, he might go somewhere with less competition - backup to C Taylor at the Crusaders or first choice at the Blues.

                              @Canes4life Makalio and Funell are both better than Riccitelli.

                                I’d probably prefer Parsons as well, at least he’s not a shrimp like rikitelli

                                    He looks like a shrimp the few times I’ve seen him play live.

                                    Still don’t want him at the crusaders tho. He’s been part of a Wellington tight 5 we’ve beaten up several times in the last couple of years.

                                        Riccitelli

                                        According to Wiki Riccitelli is heavier than Parsons and the same height and heavier than Funnell (if we are to believe wiki's 'facts').

                                        I stand corrected 🙂

                                        He looks like a shrimp the few times I’ve seen him play live.

                                        Still don’t want him at the crusaders tho. He’s been part of a Wellington tight 5 we’ve beaten up several times in the last couple of years.

                                        He's pretty average.

                                        He played well for a rookie in his first season, but appears to have hit his ceiling pretty early and hasn't really improved since. And as @SammyC says has been shoved around by the Saders and a few other packs since.
