@SBW1 So not an exodus, or a reverse exodus (homecoming).

[SBW1]

@Stargazer Hopefully a homecoming.

Ex Martinborough, Bush player - he's a JAFA but went to Ag College in Masterton and stayed. Doing well in Nederlands

@Machpants Another Kiwi in orange! Eligible via his Dutch grandparents. Just like Leroy van Dam, he made his debut for the Netherlands in 2022.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck to make bombshell Warriors return

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is returning to the New Zealand Warriors.

[Bovidae]

The Blues should just stick with Plummer at 2nd 5.

[KiwiMurph]

Good decision by RTS.

He gave it a good crack.

Just when we don't need another FB...

@Tim Not sure why they're calling it a "bombshell" return. You could see that coming from miles away.

If I was the Blues now would be a prime time to offer someone like P Umaga-Jensen a contract.

That doesn't compute. They've already got at least 3 better midfielders, plus potential in Lam.

Why do you hate us?

I’m future proofing so we don’t lose Higgins.

[African Monkey]

@Canes4life We don't need him. He isn't a bad player, but we have guys there who can play 12 without having to take guys who can't get a run for the Canes.

Fair play. He might be a better bet at the Landers with his bro anyway. They’ve got no one down there.

[SBW1]

@canefan What's the bet he doesn't make the World Cup and gets an early release and plays this season.

Wouldn't be a surprise, would it? I always saw him as a fringe player anyway
