            Does CGB play 10? Something in my memory suggests he does but maybe I am imagining that. If he does have some history at 10 I wouldn't mind seeing him get a run there given NZ's lack of quality depth in that position.

                    @Duluth So, regarding Ozich, Cully mentions him coaching Southland Boys and has totally missed Ozich coaching Hastings Boys to a Top 4 title?

                    Brad Mooar? I doubt his Crusaders connection would bother Highlanders fans if they were confident he could get the results they're longing for (like MacDonald did with the Blues, also with a Crusaders connection), but can they be that confident?

                    Are Otago fans actually happy with Donnelly's results over the past few years?

                    Chris Boyd sounds like a good option, but I'd rather have him back at the Canes.

                      @Stargazer in fairness, that sentence was mainly his connection to the south, southland boys<southland<highlanders, not a full resume

                      I'm happy enough with donnelly, he doesn't have an abundance of superstars and some of his big guns have had real injury issues

                          @Crazy-Horse credit to you mate you had an inkling that 1 of the landers regular outside backs would be looking for a go in the 10 Jersey, not CGB but it's close enough

                            @FakatavaFuture yeah didn't see that coming. Maybe Gilbert has history at 10?

                                Here's an even better solution.

                                They should've kept Josh McKay at the Highlanders and selected him at 10 since he was the Chch Boys High superstar playing in that very position?

                                  @Asterik6 I mean it's all hindsight, if they had a crystal ball and knew Nehe, koroi and Alaimalo (varying circumstances) would play less than a handful of combined game in recent seasons they might've kept McKay maybe? all I know for sure is hunt is best served as an impact sub so hopefully Gilbert can have a fantastic foray in the 10 jersey

                                    I don't think you needed a crystal ball to realise that was a dud signing, before they even signed him. Heck if I could spot it, surely those in the know could?

                                        I'm sure Kayne Hammigton would love to link up with his old mate Collins in a Welsh regionπŸ‘

                                          @Davies No, there are not. He's still signed with NZ Rugby for 2023 and he wants to be an All Black (and has a good chance becoming one). I can't see him leave NZ in the near future. Fortunately.
