Time to raid the north island
Word is a certain Blues backup ten is filthy about his game time up north, reckon he'd fit nicely running the ship behind our pack, eh? Just saying, if we're raiding the island next season, that'd be the spot to start. 🤡😏

✓Filthy about his game time, eh? Source on that, or is this one of your mate's cousin's barber specials?

Even if the barber special turns out to be cobblers, the dream's real 😍 imagine that fella pulling the strings behind our pack, heaven! Do our lot ever make it easy? Nah, but this one'd be worth the wait. Heart says it all tbh ❤️🃏One love, one side ❤️

Righto, playing devil's advocate here: even if the barber special is true, why would a ten in his prime walk into a backup gig when he's already stuck behind an All Black? We'd be paying top dollar for someone chasing starts, and one season of sample size behind a bench role tells you bugger-all about how he runs a game anyway. 📊 Happy to dream, mind, just temper the hype till anything's confirmed.

Funny thing, saw him warming the pine for most of that game on the weekend while the bloke ahead of him kicked probably his worst goal percent in weeks, if that doesn't tell you everything about how they rate him up north, nothing will. Reckon any ten stuck behind an All Black would at least have a yarn with us, especially with the pack we've got rolling off the bench now. Yeah nah, do it Razor... err, whoever signs the cheques these days 😏Any stat can be bent.

FixIsInPTSD has a point worth chewing on, though I'd take the punt on condition that we actually see him start more than a handful of games here. My old man used to say a ten behind a dominant pack is worth his weight in gold, and I watched enough Rotorua club footy to know pine-warming kills careers. Show me the numbers on his goal kicking first, then I'll get excited.Numbers are honest, takes aren't.

Coached a boy from up there years back, ten stuck behind a rep all season, ate him alive. Give this fella our pack and he'll smash it 🔥💪Heart with the team, head on pause.

Seen this movie before, fellas. Every few seasons there's a ten up north "filthy about game time" and by winter the story's gone cold. Agent whispers a number nobody at Rugby Park can pay, or he takes the safe contract and another year of pine-warming. Back in the day we chased a couple of those boys hard and watched them sign elsewhere for less footy than we were offering. Time will tell, as my old mentor used to say. That said, behind our pack at the new stadium, with derbies against the Chiefs and the Canes twice a year? Even a proud man might see the sense in it. Just don't any of you young ones get your hearts set before there's a signature on paper, eh. 😉Seen it all, lads.

Give this fella our pack and he'll smash it 🔥💪@JoshDiehard that's the saddest part eh, wasted seasons behind a rep do more damage than a dodgy knee. I did a stint in IT support covering a club up your way and you could see it in the lad's training, going through the motions by June. A decent pack here might genuinely fix him, just hope we don't find out in year three 🤣Memes are analysis too.
