    Leiua off to the Wasps for 3 years after Super Rugby this season :(

    Apparently $500k a year. Solid player that will be missed. Probably a tad of a shame Utility backs weren't a weak spot for us, he slotted in well for Jane last season though and always a solid NPC player.

    Woodward last time round, now Leiua when will it stop

    It's so hard to earn what you deserve in NZ as a rugby player not good enough to make the allblacks

    The top figure Leiua could make (or any Super Rugby player in NZ) is $180k.....you can see why these players go overseas. I'm not sure what Leiua gets for playing for Samoa but I'm thinking not much.

    I do believe Woodward will end up back in NZ though. Love me some Woodward.

    That time again folks!

    Plastic rugby is upon us.

    I say it every year - this is the Canes' season. I'll settle for the Saders not winning the comp also.

    We have a decent side this year with a few new blokes slotting in. Very intrigued to see Marty Banks (as we all are) performing well and Ardie getting some more game time. Will be interesting to see how the likes of Parkes go as well (finally in his proper union).

    We'll go back to back to back

    So you're a kiwi now?

    If Parkes does well I will eat my left testicle.

    He'd seriously have more luck on the wing then making inroads through the midfield
     
  8. Youngman JE Harding

    No, I follow the chiefs though
     
  9. Fiery GR Smith

    Good lad
     
  10. Rego RS Hutchinson

    Can't see him getting game time in the midfield. Was always pretty meh at the Blues. Stood out a little more for the Kings.

    He'll be a good bench sitter.
     
  11. Julian BJ Taylor

    western force still going to be shit?
     
  12. Rego RS Hutchinson

    They should record a few wins tbh. They definitely have some talent there.

    The Luke Morahan signing and Steenkamp signing should help you a bit. Can't see anything drastic happening though.

    Keen to see benji on action, not too sure if he should be first five though

    Keen to see Luatua and Kaino beasting together. Hope Nonu won't be shit but it's Super Rugby so he will be.

    Looking forward to Piutau as well.
