@Steven-Harris Martin is a journeyman and I doubt Lane will ever have the physicality for Super Rugby.
@KiwiMurph totally agree, but you never know what coaches are thinking , I think we can discount Lane and Martin..

@KiwiMurph Hanks bro, Hanks!

I'd fear for Lane's safety if he played at SR level. Shit luck for Wardlaw though. Ben Nee Nee or Martin would be my pick as a replacement as there isn't much out there.

@mariner4life His versatility has been very valuable. He has played at 10, 12, 13 and 15 for Clermont.

Almost as many positions as Jordie for the ABs

Martin has signed overseas.
Yep, he signed with Pro D2 club Valence Romans Drôme Rugby two weeks ago. This club was promoted to Pro D2 only this year and are last on the table at the moment (after 11 rounds). Peter Saili plays for the same team.

@Stargazer Clermont really make the most of his versatility in a game. Even though he's got 13 on his back, he still pops into 1st and 2nd receiver during games.

The Blues apparently have signed a lock already to replace Wardlaw , but it’s not Sam Caird or Temo Mayanavanua, Caird will stay onboard as injury cover..Mayanavanua is treated as an overseas players so he falls out of consideration ..
Hoping if it’s anybody, Geoff Cridge would be my pick with what’s left around ..
Ben NeeNee or Jamie Lane have never quite done it for me..
Then again, this is the Blues.. -

Then again, this is the Blues..@Steven-Harris Ben Nee Nee and Jamie Lane are barely Mitre 10 Cup standard. I guess it could only be Cridge if it isn't one of those 2.

hold on, my phone is ringing, I think it is Hanks...I'm not tall, but I did play lock once.

Is it a lock? I still wouldn't be surprised if they go for another loosie

@Duluth I am not 100% sure wether it’s a lock or Loose forward, but they have signed someone, but another loose forward would make sense as well..can we just swap out Lamborn..?

It makes sense to me
The squad had 5 specialist locks plus Tucker and Robinson as a loosie/locks.
7 options for the 2nd row
There's not much point picking another lock if they would be rated behind Tucker. If Tucker moves up in the lock rankings then we need more loose forward cover
What's Matich up to?

I would have to go for Geoff cridge as a replacement can play loosie or lock

@Duluth Matich gone to play in South America, yep you heard it right..not sure what level of rugby , but I guess where there’s a pay cheque..

Sounds like you'd fit perfectly in the Hurricanes.
