Right, lads, who's our dream first five-eighth for next season?
Right, who's had their coffee this morning? Word is a certain Wellington ten's been wandering round Chch like he owns the place already. Take that however you like. Get him in the red and black and I'll put my whole season's TAB multi on us going all the way. 💸😏

✓A coffee in Christchurch, that's your evidence? Half of Wellington's been through the terminal here on a Sunday, doesn't mean they're signing. Photos, club statement, something with a signature on it, then I'll listen. Until then I'd rather talk about who we can actually afford next season.Numbers are honest, takes aren't.

Mate we haven't had a ten with real mahi in him since I was lacing boots for the club 😤😱 that Wellington boy coming down for a quiet coffee?? sign him TOMORROW, imagine him pulling the strings behind our pack 🔥🙌 backing them all day but our lot never make it easy at 10. Get it done! 💪Heart with the team, head on pause.

Before anyone mortgages their TAB multi on one coffee sighting, a few numbers worth holding onto. A transfer like this hinges on three things: his age (a ten is usually signed for four or five years, so you want a bloke still climbing, not peaking), the salary cap room we'd actually have after the current roster is sorted, and whether Wellington even releases him mid-contract. Without those three aligning, a flat white in the CBD is just a flat white. Caveat on my own sample here, I keep my tables every round, but recruitment intel is a tiny sample, one data point at best, so I weight it close to zero 📊. That said, positionally it makes sense: our ten rotation has been a patchwork for a while and a proper playmaker behind this pack changes the ceiling of the whole season. So Paul_Fan is right to want paper, but SamUltra is right about the need. Watch the club's official channels, not the café gossip, and if a signature turns up I'll be the first to run the projections.Numbers > vibes.

Seen him play live, he runs the game like he owns it 😱 coffee or no coffee, get him behind our pack and we're away 🔥💪 signing him tomorrow, no argumentYou don't abandon your own.

Coffee in Chch proves about as much as a TAB multi landing, fellas. I could be wrong, but I'll wait for a signature before cancelling my Sunday plans.Do the math before you argue.

coffee sightings count for nothing i'll grant you that, but fellas, back in the day half our best signings started with exactly this sort of whisper round the club 😉 i've seen worse rumours turn into 50-test jerseys. let the young ones dream a bit, frontrow, sunday plans can wait a fortnight 😄Seen it all, lads.

Cafe on the corner by the stadium apparently, which is either a bloke catching up with a mate or the least subtle recruitment drive in history 😏 Funny how nobody spotted him in Kilbirnie that week eh? I'd back it, but I've backed worse things on the TAB and cried after 🤡💸Here to argue, not to nod along.

FrontRowFan talking sense. Signature or it never happened, though I'll admit the coffee spot is a bit on the nose. Seen plenty of these whispers die quietly over the years.

Was coaching the juniors Tuesday arvo when one of the mums asked me if we'd signed anyone good for next season, even the kids are buzzing eh 😂 I'm with Ultra88 on this, whispers round the club have started things before and a ten with a bit of mongrel running our attack? YES PLEASE 🔥🔥 If he's spotted anywhere near Addington again I might go "accidentally" bump into him myself tbh 💪Heart with the team, head on pause.

FrontRow, if the kids are buzzing I'm not going to rain on it 😄 but i've sat through a few of these coffees myself, remember the big Auckland centre everyone swore was moving south one winter? never saw so much as a training boot. seen worse rumours than this one though, and a couple of them actually came off. time will tell, eh.Been here longer than some have followed.
