    Would be quite happy if it is Broughton. Seems a real talent. Reminds me of Elliot Dixon.

      @Southern Jona Nareki back from injury starting to hit some form, hopefully back on track for Highlanders next year.

        @SBW1 starting? I thought it was his first game. Didn't miss a beat.
        Missed a shocker of a tackle though.

            He is. Will be an interesting battle between Dickson, Selby-Rickett, Parkinson and Holland for the three locking spots. One of the few areas we have depth.

                Pretty sure they confirmed Evans isn't coming back. Will be the four locks, plus Max Hicks as well.

                        @Kiwiwomble Plenty of info about him in that media release. Sounds like he's coming for the "experience" of coaching Super Rugby. It reads like a signing for one year only.

                              @Dan54 already "after the NPC" for some of us 😉

                              as i get older i get more excited about good coaches coming on board, flashy players have more often failed for us over the years, our best players have often been those getting a second shot to prove themselves of locals building on combinations....both more reliant on good coaches

                                That's not Nick Evans... even Mark Ozich would've far better choice.

                                  @Asterik6 thats kind of assuming it just up to us (the Highlanders), we dont know they havent been talked too and didn't want to come down south or didn't want an assistant role or didn't want a short term deal

                                      Still have Frizzell around the team at the moment. So he is a lock for the six gig. Hicks shpuld get some opportunities.

                                        He could wear the 6 jersey when Frizell is not available.

                                          Looking more and more at our squad, it's pretty handy eh. All we need is for a young 10 to absolutely smash it out of the park.

                                          It's our year!
