    @mikey07 I would have been stoked with A Ioane, but Gibson is taking the absolute piss. The guy is always injured.

        I’m surprised he is t turning out in a seven’s team right now. Perhaps next year? He’d be a very valuable player in the lighter/faster/weaker Top League.

            @gt12 Yeah he would. A lot more freedom to run and no real emphasis on work jn the tight.

                @kiwimurph The first signing, if true, further confirms peoples ratings of J. Holland. Other outfits like the Chiefs and Highlanders will continue to benefit thanks to selections like that.

                  @kiwimurph The Canes now better sign Thompson (they won't sign Kereru-Symes, of course), and not O'WhitePowder.

                  The Gibson signing is ridiculous.

                    @stargazer At least Thompson is, nominally, a Wellington player now so that would count in his favour. He would have no show if he was still up in Napier.

                      @stargazer they better sign Thompson. If they sign White Powder I’m literally going to take a hiatus until these idiots are out of a job.

                        So Ardie is gone to league? Why else would the Canes sign Gibson when they have Ardie and the Mexican Drug Lord?

                              @canes4life Well he has played at 6 a bit, and with his reduced speed perhaps he will bulk up a bit and be a full time 6?

                                @tim he could do, hopefully he can turn a new leaf at the Canes as I rated him a few years ago.

                                  The dude breaks every 5 minutes at 7, it will increase to every 3 minutes at 6.

                                    Maybe Ardie is now considered a no.8 so you need an extra openside? Kirifi and Evans the only current options. Iose is a 6/8 and there are plenty of those in the squad.

                                    @Tim I would have promoted Howden if they need a true no.6. But in line with the Canes they like undersized forwards.

                                        @bovidae good point, Ardie did an interview at the start of the year (prior to Cane getting injured) and he considered himself an 8 first and then a 7.

                                        This now spells bad news for Flanders because the Canes obviously rate Prinsep as their best 6.

                                          @canes4life Flanders has one more year on his contract. If he doesn't get enough game time in 2022, he might go on the move. I think the Chiefs, Crusaders and Highlanders might all be keen.
