Yep that is what I hear,The NZR were not interested apparently which is strange considering he is eligible.The Crusaders did approach the NZR which they have to for all signings with that idea of NZ u/20s for 2024 but NZR did not pick up the ball.
edit The Crusaders apparently are looking for a First Five with experience to cover Burke and Kemera which makes sense.

Well. Seems some NRL pundits are barking up the wrong tree with this one https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/news-2023-the-mole-roger-tuivasa-sheck-clone-solomon-alaimalo-clubs-offer/79c60a6f-ef8e-49ee-8946-b8375613aa14

@SouthernMann he'll always be a disappointment (not personally as i know he had issues) just the opportunity missed, could have been just what we needed

Fergus Burke will miss the remainder of Canterbury’s NPC campaign, but there’s better than expected news for the Crusaders.
Burke busted his Achilles during Canterbury’s quarterfinal win against Auckland last week, prompting fears the man tasked with filling Japan-bound Richie Mo’unga’s boots would miss the entire Super Rugby season.
However, while Burke is set to go under the knife in the coming weeks, it’s understood the Crusaders are optimistic he could return shortly after the team’s round seven bye in mid-April.
That’s a roughly six-month time-frame for the 24-year-old, who was carried off the field in Christchurch after going down in a heap with a non-contact injury.
The Highlanders will need to source another lock with confirmation Dunshea has suffered yet another serious injury.
Limited to 22 games for the Crusaders the past seven years due to a lousy run of injuries, including a damaged pectoralis major – the largest muscle of the anterior chest wall – early this year, Dunshea signed a two-year deal with the Highlanders in July.
He is set to undergo surgery in Christchurch this week, and is expected to be sidelined longer than Burke due to the severity of his rupture, Bourke said.

It looks like Moana Pasifika have lost Tima Fainga'anuku to the Melbourne Rebels (assuming it's a typo in the image below and not someone else). This is the Rebels squad for their upcoming tour to Japan:

Unless he has switched to tighthead prop, then bizarrely it seems it isn't a typo!

@frugby Yes, I see what you mean. It definitely must be someone else!
For who doesn't understand these comments, this is the most recent Rebels team line-up.

Yes that why I was surprised and was wondering if anyone else had heard of this.
