I really believe we will sign Leo Thompson. We currently have very senior players at the back end of their careers and raw potential with a smattering of first grade but nothing in between.
This signing would ensure over the next 2/4 years you have a settled and established front row combo...
I can understand a brand refresh once you are a fair way down the road , but at the moment this car is up on jacks.
For me the logo is a backward design from the original, a bit scattergun and not a clear identifier commercially.
It would be great to see an annual secondary schools championship game featuring the national champs of both NZ & Australian school sides maybe as a curtain raiser to an NRL finals game.
It would be a great barometer of the continued development of the game in NZ, especially when you hear so...
I agree, apart from finding a new club.
I was genuinely excited when he came through and had high hopes.
It would be nice to see him start a game and let Walker sub on for impact which he did do well last season.
WEVE FOUND HIM!
Call off the dogs, for all those who had shared their concern for the whereabouts of man mountain and next Big’ thing - Solomon Vasuvalagi last season ( mostly me and Cces to be fair) …to my surprise, he’s magically appeared today playing for a well beaten Akarana side vs...
It’s good to see the club being proactive in merch development. I remember having a convo with Cam George a number of years ago about the opportunities they had in this area they were not taking advantage of.
He did say at the time they were in some respects hamstrung at that time by NRL...
Oregon Kaufusi - Mutual Option with the Sharks for next season. Good age at 25 Years old, and a fair build -, 1.88m / 114kgs. Looks bigger than that on the box.
You have to envy the money available to potential Australian bids v anything out of NZ. I wonder if Sir Owen Glen might like to channel his philanthropic ventures towards the Christchurch bid. 🫶🏾
I’d have Geronimo Doyle at 6 and put Hansen on the bench. I think he offers more in attack and could unlock the athleticism of our back rowers.
Hopefully a better effort on D this week.
Should be a cracker of a game.
I came across this wee gem about Melbourne Storm recruiting for those who haven’t seen it,

If Egan throws another short crash ball to Nuikore 3 metres out from the opp try line with 4 defenders about to smash him … I’ll put him on report myself!
I think if we play smarter the missing speed factor volume gets turned down.
Smarter means not one dimensional.
It’s always been said defence wins comps, and this year our D has been rubbish. Have we missed Rocco Berry more over the back half of the season than realised?
The Roger...
