Otago 2020

[Kiwiwomble]

@macmanus josh is down as 2m in a couple of places...1.8 something probably more like it

[macmanus]

The friday, North Otago vs Otago XV at Maheno

[Kiwidom]

@NateHill74 Parete is off to Japan apparently

[NateHill74]

@Kiwidom do you have a source ?

[gt12]

@NateHill74

OTD:

Lock and sometimes loose forward Jesse Parete is also thought to be heading for Japan.

[Yeetyaah]

Count yourself lucky, Parete is garbage.

[NateHill74]

fair enough. That's pretty interesting

[NateHill74]

@macmanus surely, they announce those team lists for the match

[shark]

I'd have picked around 1.92/1.93 so that Taranaki listing seems about right to me. Reuben Thorne was 1.92 I think. It's about the absolute minimum to be able to fill in at lock. I'm looking at you, James Blackwell.

[mikey07]

@NateHill74 Yeah his Wellington contract expired at the end of last ITM Cup and Otago offered him a contract and Wellington hasn’t

[Kiwiwomble]

@mikey07 who are we talking about now?

[mikey07]

@Kiwiwomble Thomas Umaga-Jensen

[Kiwiwomble]

@mikey07 ok cool, thought we'd moved on to Parete

[mikey07]

@Kiwiwomble sorry I was just replying to something I had been tagged in a few days ago.

[NateHill74]

now we're having to mention who we're talking about just because we're talking about different players haha

[Kiwiwomble]

@NateHill74 "quote" rather than "reply" is always a safe bet

[macmanus]

Flynn Thomas isnt at the Southland wider training squad.

[NateHill74]

@macmanus maybe he's injured cause he hasn't been playing for Kaikorai
