      @Daffy-Jaffy From those highlights he looks like he could be a gun wing. Didn't see a lot of distribution though.

            I believe Adrian Choat has signed with a UK club - Bristol I think

            Annoying.. he was about to break through IMO

            Any idea who we are picking up at openside?

              @Duluth That's why I'm keen on Ray Nu'u, because I had a feeling we'd lose SBW.

                  Thats the name I guessed from those clues too. Most of the other possibilities have current european contracts

                      It would be awesome if it was Zane Kapelli who was fantastic for Tonga at the W.C. Although I don't think he has played super rugby and I seem to remember reading that he signed somewhere but can't find anything about it now.

                            That's underwhelming.

                            I would've preferred guys from inside the region like Choat or Matich

                            Hopefully he doesn't get in the 23 very often

                              @Nogusta If it's Lamborn, I hope that doesn't automatically imply a return to the Magpies as well ... Southland can have him. I prefer some of the younger blokes coming through in our province.

                                @Duluth taking over the solid/dependable role player role from Jed Brown?

                                  I guess that's the rationale. I don't think he's good enough for that role though

                                  At least there's so many other loosies in front of him that it shouldn't be important.

                                  I assume Choat went overseas because he didn't get a SR contract? Thats the disappointing part.. he had a high ceiling

                                      Big questions over midfield and fullback.

                                      Then the usual issues at halfback and centre.

                                      Tony Lamborn is a disappointing signing IMO.
