2-year contract + option for a third year

[Billy Tell]

Goodhue is a really good player imo. One of the few centres in nz who reads the game. We all know he lacks a bit of speed. But still. Good signing for castres.

@Stargazer Wohoo imagine the Canes having locks over 1.90

@Billy-Tell I think the blues attack does 10x better with Goodhue than ioane at 13.

Man knows how to find his wingers

Ah, one of those people who thinks the jersey is really really, really really, really dark blue.

It's finally been confirmed. Nepo Laulala has signed with Toulouse until 2026.

Looks like is Laghlan McWhannell is leaving the Chiefs. Hopefully he's not leaving NZ. Could definitely have been an AB if not for all the injuries.

There's been rumours that he's joining the Blues

@akan004 Have you read something today? Apart from the Highlanders, news from the other teams has gone quiet.

Not really an exodus, as he was playing in Oz, but Taleni Seu has signed with Toyota Industries Shuttles Aichi in Japan. That's the same club Freddie Burns will play for.

Ethan Roots has moved from Ospreys to the Exeter Chiefs.

[Stargazer]

Both Joe Maddock and Ben Franks have been appointed as Mitsubishi Sagamihara Dynaboars assistant coaches. Maddock as their attack coach and Franks as their forwards coach. I assume they're the replacements of Carl Hoeft and Shaun Webb, whose departure was announced a while ago.

Another maligned player who can use the world cup as an opportunity to say goodbye on a high

Did you only find out today that Frizell is going to Japan?

It was already announced in December 2022 that he had signed with Toshiba Brave Lupus.

Mitch Hunt has signed with Mie Honda Heat.
That's also the new club of Waimana Riedlinger-Kapa and Tevita Li.
