@Chris do you think the crusaders will look at Fatuli Paea..?..he really impressed me with his direct power packed running
I hope so hes looked very good for Ta$man when he has come on from the Bench he looks a good back up Centre option.

We need another tall lock and/or another loosie with some decent height. With the squad thus far, we could field some pretty midget forward packs in terms of height!
I'd quite like to see us pick up the reserve Harbour half.
And we need at least one more 12 option. Pity McLeod didn't see more time there in the NPC.

Noooo
I don't understate the hate about him. He's a journeyman but not a bad player.

Yep that's the Holes we need filled.
Brodie McAlister maybe a good bet as 3rd Hooker
Callum Grace for a LF/Lock role
Geoff Cridge maybe a Lock option or Sam Caird/Pari Pari Parkinson
I like Fatuli Paea. as a back up centre option
Rameka Poihipi/Dallas McLeod maybe the 2nd five options
I cant see much options out there for a another decent tall LF or a big ball carrier. Would like to see us Get Shannon Fizzell
Harry Allen,Fletcher Newell,Tamati Williams or Isileli Tu'ungafasi maybe for 2 of the Propping positions left to fill. -
@Steven-Harris wonder if they where considering looking at brendon o connor

@Chris From Ta$man:
Sam Moli also worth a look at hooker - good around the park, lineout throwing needs a bit of work - but a development option.
Sione Havili would be a good pick-up at openside. I'd rather him than Christie, but that ship seems to have sailed.
Isaac Salmon worth a look at tighthead - he went OK while Lomax was injured and was a good bench option. I think Ryan Coxon would be a good pick-up at loosehead, but the Chiefs may have the inside running there. I'm wondering also what Kane Hames' status is.
Struggle to think of a better available midfield option than Fetuli Paea.
If we need another wing, signing Tima Faingaánuku for a year wouldn't be the worst.
There's a few others that haven't featured much or at all this season that might be worth a glance, Te Ahiwaru Cirikadaveta as a big loose forward (he's a bit small for a Super lock), similarly Isaiah Miller. Rupena Parkinson as a midfielder.
I'd imagine Tom Sanders is somewhere in Razor's thinking. That Te Ariki Ben Nicholas seems like he might be surplus to the Canes requirements.

It Looks like Te Ariki Ben Nicholas is off to the Highlanders due to a Josh Ioane instagram post I saw on the Fern.
I wouldn't mind us signing Tima Faingaánuku
Te Ahiwaru Cirikadaveta. I forgot about he was in the Crusader Knights set up yeah agree about lock but not a bad LF option
I reckon they will go for McAlister as the 3rd Hooker
Props depends if they trust young props like Williams and Newell they have big futures but are only young maybe too soon.
I really hope we sign Fetuli Paea. I like his work rate and aggressive running style he will test defences.
As for Tom Sanders I think hes a decent player but I wouldn't want to risk him again hes been very injury prone.

Maybe he’s a good player
I think they will sign McAlister he debuted last year for the Crusaders and went ok he has been in the system for a few years Canterbury u/19s Crusader Knights etc
