    Must be about time for you to call for the Highlanders to be moved to North Harbour...

    this isn't a stupid idea

    Auckland can handle the extra side.

    Then the Crusaders can move to Dunedin to play in the sort of stadium a team of that quality deserves

    And then CCC doesn't have to build a stadium in Christchurch and can put the funds to more municipal uses.

    wins all 'round

            @smudge they could add an extra item of apparel to merchandising. Not just a Jersey but a Matatu 2 tutu too. Or maybe two of them...

                  It's sad that I am not surprised that TUJ's recovery is taking longer than expected. I wonder if we will ever see the best of him and his brother.

                      The Highlanders do well with ex Hamilton BHS players. Ollie Foote (fullback) and Heath MacEwan (openside) being the latest two.

                            Is Taranaki wing Vereniki Tikoisolomone injured? I would have thought he would have gotten a chance by now especially considering Highlanders lacking a bit of spark in the backs at times this season.

                              @kiwimurph browny came out earlier in the season and pretty much said he wasn't ready, kind of implied he was a project, maybe not even this year, which is a hell of a blow for someone with a full contract, thats whats WTG is for

                              https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/127870797/highlanders-put-wingers-mosese-dawai-and-vereniki-tikoisolomone-on-hold-for-now

                              while fellow winger Vereniki Tikoisolomone is seen as “project” player who will come into calculations as the season progresses.

                                And what happened to Liam Coombes-Fabling? Another project winger been tossed early? Highlanders taking the piss tbh. Do they have another 5 WTG contracts for wingers looking for the next Waisake?

                                  Did it in his last game, taped it up at half time but too much damage done. Don't think it's season ending

                                      @kiwiwomble yeah until he started over Dawai, very weird. Idk I'm just being cynical.

                                        Tikoisolomone was Tomkinson's injury replacement so maybe Brown and co reassessed his readiness once he was training with them. Then again, Dawai is also very raw but he was part of the original squad. LCF's selection in Rd 3 was because of his training according to Brown.

                                        Is Alaimalo training? Maybe Solomona is his replacement?

                                          @bovidae id love to know what the deal is Alaimalo, it seems obvious dunedin and the highlanders environment is not right for him
