@African-Monkey Che Clark might have something to say about that.

Clark needs to work on his defence. I can't see him pushing for a starting spot til 2026

[brodean]

Yeah I don't see Clark being closed to Segner or Suafoa at the moment.

[African Monkey]

Looks like he still has a bit of filling out to do as well (which no doubt he will over the next year or 2).

[george33]

Sounds like Moana Pacifica goin to announce another big Signing, RM has been mentioned.

woah!

[Chris]

It is not RM,He is back to Japan then theCrusaders in 2026, Mark Telea also mentioned.

[KiwiMurph]

Blues would be bleeding wingers if it was Telea. They've already lost Tangitau and Banks

Telea and Ardie do have a strong relationship though.

[george33]

@Chris thought as much, Ngane has also been mentioned.

[foobaNZ]

My guess is Laumape.

Ngane would make sense.

@george33 that would be a massive surprise given MP already have 3 first fives signed
Jackson Garden Bachop , William Havilli ,Tongan first five Patrick Pellegrini
Would’nt surprise me if Ngani Laumape and Vaea Fifita are on MP’s list
Will have a real Canes feel about them.

[george33]

@Steven-Harris definitely just a rumour, can't see it my self ,but it would be brilliant for Moana, wouldn't you agree Steve?.

Fifita has re-signed in Wales again I'm pretty sure.

[george33]

@Chris thought he had other commitments tho ?, things just change so quick with these contracts.

Ngane would make sense.

Ngani Laumape would definitely make sense. Ardie spent a lot of time with him in Japan so would have had plenty of time to convince him of the move. Whether he wants to give up the money though is another question.

[Steven Harris]

@george33 ..Be worth well a trip across the bridge .

[george33]

@Canes4life all these names mentioned, must be 1 of them, just can't think of others, Probably turn out to be Ma Nonu

[Steven Harris]

@george33 Moana Pacifika Storm got a ring to it.

[george33]

@Steven-Harris yeah totally agree with that, You hearing any noise around Shannon Frizzle heading to the Blues?

[Steven Harris]

@george33 Yes i have through a contact at MP and he was the same person who told me Ardie was coming to Mp about a month before it was announced , but to be fair with Cameron Suafua and and the impressive Che Clark in the mix as well as Segner and Choat who can all play 6 if required , it would be hard to fit Frizzell in .
Not sure what Suafua’s status is in terms of next year for me he was a little off the pace in the Npc
