    cant help but think Sio would be better on the wing, less chance to take someone head off and his tendency is to run wide, even 13 i think, push wide to meet up with the wing.....i just dont know in what way he's a 12

    I think collins 12 and sio 13 worked well

    @family-man no confirmation of a contract renewal at least...and i think you would announce if your captain was staying

    Jack Whetton off to the Tahs next season, good for him. Thought he played well for us this year so would have been happy to see him stay

    Tony Brown didn't really announce new signings on The Breakdwon. He talked about Fetuli Paea as a new signing, and the importance of the experience of some players, Aaron Smith in particular. I hoped for new names.

    Interesting how he also mentioned that they were talking to a player, only to find out other coaches were also talking to him. I have the distinct feeling that this was about Fakatava, but his name wasn't mentioned.

    Wasn't there some talk about the Highlanders signing Liam Squire? I wondered whether that was part of his reference to experience?

    @Chris-B Maybe. Or the re-signing of Ash Dixon.

    Did he say just 2 Abs now? Smith and Ioane. What about Frizzell and Coltman? Did I mishear or misinterpret?

    @ARHS I'd say Smith and Frizell. Ioane isn't an AB at the moment, neither is Coltman.

    @Stargazer. Aha. Explained. The ad hoc comment after referred to Ioane. So that was what confused me

    @Yeetyaah bit of a random one, thought we'd be downsizing the staff if anything, would be good to see a more hard hitting defensive line

    looks like we've recruited in the loosies, think we can expect a forward heavy bench again this season and always running with one of our loosies out in the back line on defense

    A cunning plan to further tap into the Ta$man connection, and future player signings.

    Who would have thought anyone would have the imagination for a worse combination than the Vikings.
