    @Canes4life Yep, it almost seemed inevitable. I wonder whether they've signed him as an outside back or a midfielder? 🤔

    This signing may have more commerical value (attracting crowds?) than value on the field.

    @Stargazer It will more likely prevent fans from turning up because if he’s in the side the Canes are in trouble. He’s proven already this year that he still has tits for hands, no pace whatsoever and a tendency to seagull on the wing waiting for the ball to come his way.

    It seems more like a pity signing to me, or a signing to keep Ardie happy so he doesn’t head off to league.

    @Yeetyaah Ha, my cousin posted a disappointed response that wasn't rude at all, and it has been removed!

    @Stargazer I don't think I was rude. "Wasted signing tbh, would be more beneficial to sign a young guy. M10 Cup form doesn't warrant a selection."

    @Yeetyaah Yeah, my cousin just posted something like "Not thrilled by this signing".

    (I wasn't implying your post was rude as I didn't see it).

    @Stargazer ha nah I know you weren't. Just funny tbh. At least the Blues instagram page responds by roasting the commenters. Been on the receiving end of that as well.

    @Yeetyaah This is one signing I wish I was wrong on but it seemed inevitable given his past form, BUT no way does he warrant a contract would of rather they signed Visignia if we’re signing has been wings 😂

    @canefan yeah kinda downgraded to a 12 seater van, hes proven himself in the last couple of games he leads well. yeah dropped a ball but his presence on and off the field is uplifting for the team esp the younger lot

    2021 the bus will put a turbo in his 12 seater van..

    Why would you even want the 2015 Bus? He was good in one game against France. Pre 2015 Bus is the one you want.

    To repeat my comment from the other thread - NZ rugby is odd sometimes.

    @canefan refreshing to see a Canes fan talk about how average he is. People on Facebook are getting feral about how good he is. Rose tinted glasses really are on today.

    @Yeetyaah He barely held his position in the match day 23 for the Wellington Lions much less the Hurricanes the last season he was here before he departed. Someone with a major connection to a celestial power must have worked wonders if his form has got any better to warrant selection at Super Rugby level since those days.

    His form this year is strikingly similar to how he was in his first year of super rugby. If he has the same level of improvement next year as he did then, all good!
