Highlanders 2024

Well the Highlanders saying “We’ve got two huge signings this week” hints to me that it’s not going to be players we don’t know of. Especially with “we just know you’re going to love them” following that, meaning they must be well known. Naholo? PUJ?
-
They should not sign Waisake Naholo. He is a 32 year old outside back. The past is the past. I would say he has a specific role within Otago, to support younger lads. It is very unlikely he will start for Otago and will now be a long way off Super Rugby standard. If judging by the language 'huge' dictates someone who is likely to start and be influential. So a first five, midfielder, or outside back. The outside backs, it depends on whether the management is satisfied Bogado and Lowe are starters or if they are still after a starting wing/fullback. If they have faith in Bogado/Lowe the last outside back may be a depth player.

Was that the Tony Brown naming as assistant coach? Fantastic impact. Just a bit limp dick at the time. Credit to the Landers the admission of we got things wrong over the last few years and actively working to fix things is looking impressive. 2024 is certainly going to be a stronger squad than 2023.
-
Crofty wouldn't make sense. We have two 12s in Gilbert and TUJ. A 13 is what we are lacking
-
@SouthernMann unless theyre going to stick with Gilbert as a 15 that can cover midfield
-
He came on at second five with the AB XV. It is where he is seen. Also would say that in order to get Kneepkens we had to offer him first shot at his preferred position, fullback.

Look I don't now when it will b announced maybe on Thursday or in October and Im not saying Crotty or the other 13 /14 but highlanders need something,and there present signings look ok
hang on, you know who it is though, go on, say it
-
-
@george33 but if you know someone thats going to be signed just say who it is and it might be this one or it might be a latter one...not naming them just makes it sound like you dont know anymore than anyones else but your trying to make us think you do
look at this
everyone...i know who is being signed...but i cant say who
we can all do that
its an anonymous message board so you're not going to get in trouble or anything

Did the highlanders say Huge signings. If so does that would mean current ABs
Huge is in the eye of the beholder or organisation selling the new players to their fan base. I'd classify huge as players you'd expect to start each week.
