Glad to see Caird get a contact if it is confirmed.

Your sources are good on this, according to my sources.

[Steven Harris]

@smudge despite Fabian Holland only being 19 , hope the Landers give him a full contract

[Mr Fish]

Sam Caird and a fella from Ta$man.

[macmanus]

@mr-fish who?

[mikey07]

@steven-harris Damn it was hoping the Canes would nab him though at least he should get gametime with the Landers.

[Yeetyaah]

[Kiwidom]

Who is Max Hicks. Is he any good?

@daffy-jaffy I´m gutted for Vahaakolo...

[Bovidae]

Hicks looks to have been selected ahead of Alaimalo as a lock/6.

I wouldve thought he'd be a better pick than Timu

Agreed, I thought tiny had mainly played in the midfield, I think freedom did everything that could have been asked of him to pick up a spot

[Kiwiwomble]

Had to remind myself who Rhys marshall was, I know there are other young guys putting there hands up but I feel for Ricky Jackson, another right on their doorstep who had a very solid season stepping up after Coltmans injury
