    Is Apisai the one that used to cover prop? Maybe he's EdG's backup...

      Jason Ryan had good things to say about Pole when he filled in at the Crusaders before he went to MP.

        I'd hope Abraham Pole gets one of the loosehead spots. Just not sure of the contract lengths for DLB or Ayden Johnstone. Think Abraham Pole has more upside than both of them. I'm just interested to see whether they have a trick up their sleeve for the 10 jersey for next year or if they will be running battlers again.

              Yuck. Imagine a first five rotation of JGB, Hunt and Banks. Really sends a shiver down the spine.

                Ioane may still need a home, or one of the many Chiefs 1st 5s. Some are ex-Highlanders. 🙂

                Reihana would be worth investing in.

                    With Miller and Faleafaga coming through. I highly doubt we will be chasing a inexperienced player. I sniff a journeyman

                      @SouthernMann agreed, and I think millar has grown and settle a lot, having a sharp shooter at the death could be a real asset

                            Would be quite happy if it is Broughton. Seems a real talent. Reminds me of Elliot Dixon.

                                @SBW1 starting? I thought it was his first game. Didn't miss a beat.
                                Missed a shocker of a tackle though.

                                    He is. Will be an interesting battle between Dickson, Selby-Rickett, Parkinson and Holland for the three locking spots. One of the few areas we have depth.

                                        Pretty sure they confirmed Evans isn't coming back. Will be the four locks, plus Max Hicks as well.

                                          I rate Max Hicks a lot. But with all these locks, I could see him moved to the blindside. A combo with him plus MMT and Harmon could be interesting.
