Anyone else think the Canes will do just about everything to get TJP in the squad? Like pulling a back* (a forward would be stretching it a bit) only at the slightest hint of a (minor) injury?
* probably not a Wellington player

@stargazer 100%, they won't be spending loads of $$$ just to have him sitting in the stands.

Turns out he hasn't "done enough to wear the jersey" just yet!

I guess he can't even be the "hydration assistant" then
-
@yeetyaah That might be quite a good signing for the Canes if Owen's still got enough enough gas in the tank to back Lomax up for 20-30 minutes off the bench.
-
@chris-b Did they also mention whether he's going to be forced on Hawke's Bay for NPC, just like his brother?
Edit: Who is he replacing at the Canes? The only THs are Tyrel Lomax (signed 'til 2023) and Alex Fidow (2022), while Pouri Rakete-Stones (2021) can play at both sides. I've only seen Fraser Armstrong (2021) and Alex Numia (2021) at LH. Don't know about Tevita Mafileo (2022); maybe he can play at both, although usually at LH?
-
@mikey07 In this case, clearly not rating the young players coming through the system, or elsewhere in the country.
-
@stargazer I don’t think it’s a bad deal be a good mentor to the likes of Lomax and Fidow but as discussed who loses there contract for next year.
@mikey07 No, not bad from a mentoring perspective. Tbh, I hope it's Armstrong who's going, but considering the limited game time Rakete-Stones has had, I'm afraid he'll be the one looking for greener pastures, and I really hope those pastures aren't overseas!

Yes. Yes they did.
Apparently, he's also signed a clause that guarantees he won't try at all against his province of birth!

I also hope so Rakete-Stones looks a lot better Armstrong has been such a disappointment.
