@Snowy Winners are grinners.
i guess when you have the Blues record over the past decade and a half, coming 2nd is just like winning
Yes, and GFY.
Airswing. Bit like the blues previous 15 seasons.
Shall we talk about the Highlandlers history? Or the ‘canes that you deserted?

@Snowy nah, definitely don't want to discuss winning titles or a team performing better than it's parts might suggest with someone so inexperienced.

Other still to resign
The Hurricanes still have a handful of this year’s squad whose contracts expire at the end of this season, including Vaea Fifita, Ben May, Fraser Armstrong, Gareth Evans, Jackson Garden-Bachop and fellow first five-eighth Fletcher Smith. -

@Canes4life I'm not sure what's going to happen. I hope they move Brendon O'Connor to the bench and Evans to 7. Last year, MMT played most games at 6, with Flanders coming off the bench, but I'm not sure where the Magpies coaches prefer to play them if they both start. With MMT playing at 8 the entire SR and SRA season, there's a good chance he'll end up in the 8 jersey if Evans isn't wearing it.

@Canes4life I would go Flanders at 6, keep MMT at 8 where he's been going well.

Playing club rugby on Sat 8 August:
Wellington
Liam Mitchell (Wainuiomata), so not in Manawatu
Chase Tiatia (Hutt OBM)
Salesi Rayasi (Hutt OBM)
Jonathan Taumateine (MSP)
Julian Savea (Oriental-Rongotai) at 12
Murphy Taramai (Upper Hutt Rams)Hawke's Bay
Danny Toala? (Hastings)I see there's a Kane Thompson playing for Johnsonville (18). Is that the Samoan International, who played for the Chiefs and Highlanders, and several provinces? Or just someone with the same name?

@Stargazer His father often turns up at my club's games. If he is on the sideline tomorrow it will be a pretty good indication that the J/ville one is not "the" Kane Thompson. Having said that "the" Kane Thompson did play a few games for J/ville a couple of years ago so it probably is him.
-
I hope Rayasi gets a run next week with the first team over Julian.
I have no problem with Julian being in the squad next year, but we must keep Rayasi.
Thompson will be the Samoan international, he's been involved with Jville previously.

Julian Savea (Oriental-Rongotai) at 12
Interesting, maybe without his pace he may be quite effective at 12.

@Machpants was he any good there? Unless he has a mind blowing NPC I don't really see the upside of bringing back a player that was on the downward slope three years ago. Hope he proves everyone wrong though because he deserves a sweet ending to his career.

@Canes4life Wasn't about a million bucks a year salary up in France a sweet enough end to his career?

@Canes4life he was fairly average in the highlights I saw then again going from playing on the wing into 12 is abit of a difference the switch from wing to 13 would’ve been easier but they had Fekitoa for the first season.
-
@Stargazer Yeah im pretty sure it’s the same, see the coach is none other then Roy Kinikinilau
