Liam Mitchell

He's nearly two metres tall, he's got no chance of playing lock for the Canes.

Is he any good?

dude if he's an almost 2m lock in NZ, if he was any good he would have a gig somewhere. We're not exactly swimming in them

I had noticed he wasn't in the CM team to play this round.

[Stargazer]

@tim I guess that means it's his last year for the Magpies as well. Time for Kereru-Symes to step up and Tyrone Thompson to come home, next year!

[Tim]

@stargazer Hopefully can come back for NPC if playing in Japan?

[Stargazer]

He has signed a two-year deal in Japan.

There's a man that deserves some extra cash for his services to NZ rugby

I think he sadly developed a little too late to gain an AB cap but he surely deserved one considering some of the dunces who play hooker who have received them.

[Stargazer]

@nepia Yep, he's better than Liam Coltman, Nathan Harris and James Parsons have ever been. And thus far, better than Asafo Aumua, too (who obviously still has plenty of time to get better).

Ash Dixon has signed with NEC Green Rockets.

I was hoping he would sign for Moana and continue to play for Counties.

Shame to see Sanders go. He was a rare thing - an underrated Crusaders loosie

[Stargazer]

@duluth Yeah, his great performance in the North v South match was a good example of how good he was. If he hadn't had so many injuries along the way, who knows what could have been ...?

Tom Sanders has signed with Suntory Sungoliath.
