Anyone know how Tim Farrell is progressing?

@Canes4life Yep, the Canes could have two Bay developed hookers in their squad in future. Kereru-Symes is already training with them; Tyrone Thompson is now on track, too.

Sorry, no idea, but he's a promising LH; the Canes would be idiots to let him go. We'll know more about how he's going once the Canes Dev team starts playing, provided he's picked.
For a future TH from the Bay, it will be interesting to see how Josiah Tavita-Metcalfe progresses this year - hopefully getting more Magpies caps after getting limited game time in 2018 due to injury - and I'm also keen to find out which province has nabbed Patrick Teddy from Napier Boys. Tavita-Metcalfe is definitely one to watch (one of the Hastings Boys 2017 champions team).

@Stargazer Oh right, he is on the mend from injury though isn't he? The recent announcement of JTA leaving and the likes of T Smith, C Eves & B May coming to the end of their careers means the development and acquisition of young props like Fidow, Farrell, Teddy, Numia and Tevita-Metcalfe are crucial. It will be interesting to see how Fraser Armstrong comes on this year aswell.
Shit, let's hope Teddy hasn't gone to Canterbury.

@Stargazer Our cunning plan must be to sign up all NZ's props!
Crockett, Hames, Perry, Lomax and Moli on the books - plus several others.

It was AB loosies last year ... shall we just call you the Ta$man Chequebooks from now on?

@Chris-B You might even beat Canterbury in a playoff game some time ...
Hang on, hang on.
Until you guys floundered your way through this year, we were the ONLY team who'd beaten them in a play-off game for about a decade!

@Nepia Stopgaps while we wait to release our other guys from bondage.
Though of those guys, only Hames is a poach to the same extent that Benny Franks was!
p.s. Indian fans around the world are currently slagging McLean Park - release the chequebook you tight b'stards!

Franks wasn't a poach, he was forced on us by the idiot Canes and we hated it as much as the Thug hated being in the team.
I don't give a shit what cricket fans think.
Our best poach from you guys was Kahn (a re-poach) as it meant a year without Eaton.

That's very true, you thieving bastards. I'm in summer mode or I would've remembered that heinous one immediately!
