Few of us here at work looking at dates to head up Norf to see the big man play.
Could be money well spent on him.

It could be outstanding here as he really does have that X factor and should be able to draw.
Just knowing his injury history it does run the risk of being a bit of a fizzer. Maybe that is just the Warriors fan in me remembering the early years?

@Yeetyaah I wish he had stuck around, if he had put together another strong season with the chiefs ,anything is possible especially with injuries ..
When you consider who the next cab off the rank was after these 3..Mounga
Barrett
Josh Ioane
Next...?I reckon based on quality ,he could have been number 4..#justsaying..!

@Steven-Harris You would also have noticed a couple of promising first five in the black and white hooped jerseys this year as well, even if one of them had to play at fullback! Might only be a year or two away from pushing for higher honours.

He has signed with Toyota Industries Shuttles. This team isn't competing in the Top League, so I assume he'll play in the next tier (Top Challenge League?).

@Steven-Harris Josh Ioane is a long way off test quality, so it's pretty open unless DMac shows some form at 10.

DMac has stated quite clearly that he now thinks he should stick at 15. Whether that is because he lost confidence last year after a poor run at 10 when his forwards played shite, or whether that is a genuine self assessment with the clarity of sitting back for a while with an injury, I don't know.
At 15 he will be relying on the playing style of an incoming AB coach with decisions to be made around the BB/Mounga experiment and whether the rose tinted glasses remain on for Jordie.
Could be that he would prefer to have fun and be a crowd favourite at Super level, carving things up then moving north for a big payday.
As for 10s, I think we may go back to either one of Mounga or BB with the other as support so there is time for Ioane to develop. -
@Stargazer Fuck what a joke. Had good potential and has decent size as a lock. Money must be good.
@Yeetyaah He's too injury prone so financially, it's probably the best move for him.

@Stargazer Highest paid rugby code star ever! By Canada, for a muslim heavy weight boxing champion ex All Black. Couldn't invent it

Big excitement for the signing, even had a couple of non-rugby fan, not even sport fan types mention it. Ironically both in the medical profession with one a theatre nurse at one of the major hospitals downtown - so perhaps they have been put on alert by the team?
Looking forward to reading the SBW autobiography someday more than watching his stint with the Wolpack. His farewells throw some pretty obvious shade (as did his refusal to say anything about Foster at the RWC).

Former Timaru BHS (2013) and Christchurch club player (Shirley RFC) departs to play professionally in the USA

@Higgins What a story that is! From club rugby player to test player at the RWC and now a pro contract in the USA. And that all in less than a year!
@Stargazer You will be pleased to know Ihia West is going OK for La Rochelle in their away match against Top 14 Table Toppers Lyon (I can't sleep so am watching the game on line). He is in the company of Victor Vito (Capt) and Tawera Kerr-Barlow but they are not being helped by their team mates and are currently down 38 - 17 15 minutes into the second half. Of note is that former Frog midfield back (and ocassional captain) Mathieu Fatsoreaud is playing No 8 against Vito but it looks like it won't be too much longer before he finds a new position in the front row!
Charlie Ngatai also going ok for Lyon.
