Right, lads, our midfield has been crying out for a genuine second
Word is that Wellington playmaker might be off contract come season's end, mate of a mate reckons his manager's been sniffing around down south. Imagine him pulling the strings for us in the derbies, red and black at One NZ Stadium 🤡💸😏

✓Mate of a mate, manager sniffing around. That's the rumour equivalent of a TAB multi built entirely on cross-code long shots. I'd want something firmer than second-hand whispering before we start dreaming about him in red and black. Show me the numbers on this: which contract, which source, anyone actually named? Until then I'm treating it like every other off-season rumour that evaporates by June. Sounds good, sure. On condition that someone produces actual evidence instead of vibes.Numbers are honest, takes aren't.

Even if the whisper's rubbish, dreaming's free aye 😂 bloke running the shows against us hurts every season, imagine that in red and black 🔥 ah well, nowt to do but hopeYou don't abandon your own.

A mate-of-a-mate rumour plus a smart manager shopping his name for a pay bump, I could be wrong, but I'd put the actual odds of it landing somewhere near a TAB multi. He's also what, late twenties and their incumbent second five? Hurricanes would have to be certifiably mad to let that walk. Dream away though, it costs us nothing. 📊

Just what the tab did earlier last season, kept Wellington's midfield honest all night 🤡💸😏Here to argue, not to nod along.

RobbedAgain's TAB multi line made me snort, mainly because I lost a similar one at the local last Friday. I'm with the skeptics here, manager sniffing around is usually just leverage for a pay bump. That said, if he did turn up in red and black I'd happily eat my words over a pie at the ground; on condition that someone produces an actual source before we plan the jersey printing.Hype isn't an argument.

Tbh even if it's just his manager fishing for a pay bump, that tells you somethin 😂 no one plays games like that against us for years and you just know the bloke would love a crack at a proper forward pack backing him instead of a midfield shuffle every week. Our second five spot's been a revolving door since God knows when, ah well, nowt to do And mate, if there's even a 5% chance, chuck the offer on the table. We've sat through enough 10-12 experiments to know a genuine second five changes everything 🔥🔴⚫On the terraces since I was a kid.

Love how a bloke flogging himself for a pay bump gets spun into "he'd secretly love red and black" 😂 Half our fans read every rumour as a romance story. Small sample though: managers sniff around every contract window.

managers sniff around plenty of blokes who end up staying put, seen it for decades 😉 but every now and then the sniff turns into a signing, worth a yarn at the local anywayBeen here longer than some have followed.

ha, this reminds me of the big name we were all certain was coming south a few years back — bloke was practically measured for the jersey by the papers, then re-signed within the fortnight 😄 managers love a bit of chatte…@UnderdogNightmate ha exactly, heard that yarn a hundred times at the pub 😄 but mate we NEED someone in that midfield, so I'm choosing to believe this one, all day 🙏🔴⚫Heart with the team, head on pause.

seen this movie plenty of times, Metric_nerd, chatter fills the paper one week, bloke re-signs the next. trust me, if he shows at rugby park in red and black, then we can talk 😄Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

ha I've fallen for this yarn too many times to count mate 🤬 but tbh the midfield need is that desperate I'd take the punt too. remember coaching the juniors last season, our 12 spot was basically a rotating door, no wonder we're all dreaming 😅 ah well, nowt to do but wait and see if he turns up at Rugby Park 🙏🔴⚫You don't abandon your own.
