I though Parker was signed in the WTG.

More likely. He is only 19 so he would be unlikely to be a full squad member yet. Finau is 20.

[Yeetyaah]

@Tim Fuck that's irritating. Chiefs really shit the bed by not bringing him in this year. At least he will be being used I suppose.

[Bovidae]

Tucker got injured in the final last year so might not have been available for selection initially. He did later end up at the Blues...

If we don't sign Finau, I'll spit.

[Bovidae]

@gt12 A better chance now if Tucker is not at the Chiefs. Finau can play lock and 6.

@Chris-B Bloody good work.

@Yeetyaah Not the exact photo, but a pretty good likeness!

pretty close no doubt its Cruden

[antipodean]

Guess that means DMac back to fullback.

[Bovidae]

@Chris-B Who's that Blues player chasing Cruden? He looks familiar.

Vaa'i - a big unit out of Wesley who has size (1.98 m, 118 kg) and was also in the U20s. He is very mobile and started a lot for Taranaki this year.

Ahhh if that's the tall "skinny looking" guy then I liked him. He always played with plenty of vigor and aggression and sort of semi needled opposition players, whether they deserved it or not! Should be a good unit once he starts filling out a bit with more age.

I heard you signed Michael Woolliams

[Bovidae]

@Higgins This guy.

I mentioned him in my original post. There are probably 3 young locks fighting over 2 positions. Leasuasu was used as an injury replacement late in the season so might be favoured.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Sam McNicol not coming back?

[Stargazer]

@Baron-Silas-Greenback Of course, you would. :face_with_tears_of_joy:

No idea, but it's hard to pick someone who hasn't played in 2 seasons. His initial concussion was very severe.
