    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.

        @Duluth NZ Rugby would be mad to pass up that level of experience.

            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.

                                      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.

                                        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.
