@Steven-Harris said in Wellington vs Otago:
@Stargazer you know what, the Saders are the sought of organisation that will sniff out an opportunity like this..TBN will be on their radar if he’s not signed by anyone else...
Well, I was mentioning them because they don't mind picking up players who have been in trouble with the law more than suggesting the Crusaders would pick him up.
-
@Nepia it’s probably the perfect environment for a troubled player to head to.
-
@Nepia i’m not sure how much say Chris Gibbes has but the fact he is moving into the Hurricanes assistant role should mean he has some say in selection. If he isn’t a clown then he would table Ben Nicholas as a versatile 6/8 option.
-
@Steven-Harris he’s not troubled now, this was a wee while back. Apparently OBU in Wellington have really worked with him over the last few years to get him into a great head space to flourish and it’s showing.

Is The Chief still a troubled player? His "troubles" happened four years ago, right?
-
Josh Ioane in a well beaten team has got some really great touches to his game...
-
@Canes4life Yeah, the chance of the Wellington bias getting stronger is huge.
But seriously, if Henwood has re-signed or is still under contract, there may not be a vacancy in the Canes' loose forwards. Most players have already re-signed. Henwood and Bedwell-Curtis are the only question marks, but Flanders is likely to come in as well.

@Stargazer classic yarns by you.
He will surely take either Henwood or Bedwill-Curtis’s spot then. Savea, Kirifi and Evans can all cover 7 so it would make sense to sign Ben-Nicholas. I just think Prinsep is such a waste of space. He really doesn’t offer much at Super level.
-
@Stargazer not surprising when they took all their danger men off.
-
Well if your gonna get well beaten..make sure you do the next best thing..grab a bonus point..something the mob I support haven’t managed to do..
Congratulations to the lions..to much polish..! -
I dont rate Princep. But Plumtree (or someone in the Canes setup) does
Plumtree does like plodders with a good attitude though so its likely him
I was surprised BN didn't get a contract last year so maybe their is some attitude issue
-
@Winger I saw an interview the other week with Ben Nicholas and he seemed a well spoken, respectable young man. There could be more to it but I definitely think he is capable of doing great things at Super Rugby level. It would be a shame if the Canes let him sign for another team.
