@Chris Unless one of the guys that is named in the squad doesn't have a full contract?

Or maybe there's an injury, AND they want to keep him for 2024, too?

Strange signing for me anyway,I don't think he is going to be a starting player.

Why not? Back 3 mix of him, Nareki, Gilbert, CGB seems pretty handy to me.

I have seen a couple of clips doesn’t look like a rockstar to me.
Lowe in the mix would be a better bet.

Having seen more than a couple of clips of Lowe, rockstar is well down the list.

Didn’t call him a rockstar just a better bet.

He wouldn't get a game for Argentina. I'm picking this guy is better.

No he wouldn't he's not eligible for Argentina .

We will banter again when he plays SR

Lowe can't even make NZ C/D. I'd be more than happy with the guy that looks like he's as good already with a higher ceiling but I understand how fans of another team wouldn't be too keen.

Ohh no I am quite happy if you play the Argie against us,another weak point to exploit.

i love this, two guys that know what a good team culture is

[kiwi_expat]

I can't believe Dermody hired Whiffin to coach the backs and not this guy...

https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/rugby/highlanders/otago-coach-coy-plans-future

Otago's best head coach in a very long time, NZ U20 winning assistant in 2017, & was an integral part of Highlanders brain's trust in 2018 - their only good season under Mauger.

Have seen the Blues article on Tito's signing, it appears that Brown's with Georgia's coaching staff now :angry_face:

Not confirmed by the Highlanders, yet:

[Kiwiwomble]

@Stargazer id missed he was injured

[SouthernMann]

Weren't we meant to have been getting a Welsh 10? Or is that off the table? I see Owen Williams is now at Ospreys.

[HLD2023Champions]

@SouthernMann Fell through unfortunately. Must be because of Mitch Hunt being back in time or something..

[Bovidae]

[SBW1]

@HLD2023Champions When the Landers had PPP, Nareki and Hunt firing on all cylinders, they made it to the final.

Whatever the question is, Hunt is not the answer.
He's the type of player that most teams would love in their squad in case of emergencies but he's not a playmaker to build a campaign around.
You dont even make the semi finals without a decent 10 and if the rest of your squad doesnt have the class of others, that makes it extra difficult.

[Tim]

@SBW1 Hunt had a great game in that final. Really kept them in it.

[SBW1]

@Tim Is a new No.10 still on the horizon from Wales?
