    I am hearing that Hawkes Bay may have snared 2 big signings
    Isaia Walker-Leawere from Wellington and Vince Aso from Auckland .,might be one for you Stargazer to follow up..!.
    Got this from a pretty good source ...that would give the Magpies a decent battery of locks

        @Steven-Harris I thought Aso had another year or two on his Auckland contract?

          We've been discussing this in private messages but have not heard any confirmations.

          @canefan At least you know why Walker-Leawere isn't starting now. πŸ˜‰

            @Dice Aso apparently wants play for a Hurricanes franchise team, these signings are not set in stone,but there are some negotiations going on at this time.

                Well ferretted out Steve, as Nepia stated we are still in final confirmation mode as the usual sources that know for certain have clammed up after I first hit them up about the lock one. Nonetheless the origianal source said he was absolutely sure about the signing. I had heard bar room whispers about the Aso one as well down in the Waitoa Social Club last Saturday night but put that down to a real pie in the sky situation (not to mention a slight lack of full sobriety - they have some real nice beers there) and have not even started to make further investigations but with your sources as well it looks like there just might be something to it. If true he could hardly go to the 'Poo with their AB midfield back and sometime winger/sometime fullback already on their books.

                  @Higgins I always like to be reasonably confident about a source before posting..so its good to know there’s some traction to this info..

                    The world awaits with tredidation as to when the HBRFU will announce their allocation to the combined NOB-M club. Having said that the Texans do have a number of Gisborne BHS old boys playing for us so there might be a very slim remote chance Walker-Leawaere might elect to go there but I won't be holding my breath on that one. At least he would be a better fit than the last import we had that mysteriously changed clubs mid season. I will say no more about that situation.

                      We have already given you a former HB B halfback, what more do you want? Chris Eaton is doing nothing by the way. Speaking of halfbacks where is Jono Hickey going to be playing, when fit???????????????????

                          @African-Monkey From what I have heard it is not Auckland so you can breath easier. Apparently the contract is rumoured to commence for the 2020 season.

                                @Canes4life I wouldn't be surprised at all if they sign Veikoso Poloniati. The Canes picked him for the Hurricanes Dev squad and he played Heartland for South Canterbury, so isn't tied to a M10 squad, yet. Unless Canterbury picks him up first, of course (but they probably already have Dunshea, Dalzell and Romano).

                                  I think you will find they have alreay done so. They are rather skilled at signing players that have yet to prove themselves.

                                    Geoff Cridge's profile on the Hurricanes site has his province as Wellington, could mean he has shifted or more likely a typo...
