Right, lads. Who's our dream No. 8 for next season?
Word doing the rounds down south is a certain Dunedin loosey's contract talk has gone quiet, take that how you like, but I'd lump a fiver on it at the TAB if odds existed 😏. Imagine that backend of the scrum in red and black. Fanboys will say we're fine as we are, sure thing, mate. 😂

✓Quiet contract talk is your evidence now? Show me a name and a source, otherwise you're just dressing up a hunch as a scoop. I'll take the fiver bet the other way if the TAB ever lists it. Sounds good, mate, but last time "word doing the rounds" went quiet it was because nothing was ever said in the first place.Numbers are honest, takes aren't.

Imagine him bullocking off the back of OUR scrum 🔥🔥 we've needed that go-forward for years tbh. I'd pay the membership bump twice over, get in! 💪You don't abandon your own.

Careful with the odds here, quiet contract talk could mean half a dozen things, and a sample of one vague rumour is nothing to hang a pick on. Positionally it makes sense if he's a genuine ball-carrying No. 8, but age matters: anything past 29 and I'd rather see the cash go to a young lock. Yeah nah, I'll wait for an actual name before I get excited. 📊Numbers > vibes.

SeenItAll, "needed for years", the tape says our young loosies made more metres post-contact than his side managed all season. Small sample though, one quiet rumour and everyone's ordering jerseys already 📊

ha, you sound like the same crowd that said the last young back row would carry us - how'd that go, eh. metres post-contact means nothing when the forwards get bossed up front, seen it a hundred times since the amateur days. if a proven no. 8's going cheap down the road, you take him and let the kids learn behind him, young ones always talk a big tape until they meet a real pack 😄Seen it all, lads.

Saw him at the pub in Dec, mate, said right out he's chasing a winning environment, funny how that lines up 😏. Fanboys can dream, I'd rather believe a bloke who's had a few 🤡Any stat can be bent.

BootToBallGuru talks sense, for once - the age clause is the whole ball game here. BadBeatAndy, "chasing a winning environment" over a few beers at the pub? Do you want me to take that as evidence or as a speech after his fourth handle? I watched this bloke get sat down twice at the breakdown in a wetround game in Dunedin last winter, so colour me unconvinced until someone shows me the contract, not the rumour.

Seen this movie before, fellas, big-name loosey "chasing a winning environment", whisper goes quiet, and he signs elsewhere. Time will tell 😉Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.

Ha, pub rumours 🤣 I once heard at the Richmond that some rep wing was "keen on us" and he ended up in Japan within a month. Give me a young fella who'll bleed for the jersey over a big name chasing trophies tbh 💪 our lot never make it easy anyway, so pick someone with the heart for itIn the stands since I was a kid.

The whisper around that move is thicker than usual. It isn't simply about the environment, even if the public thinks so. Details in the DMs are always a bit more complex than what the casual listener picks up. Those who know, know the real picture.Solid source, details in the DMs.
