Rumours Already !

[The Boab]

Evening all, just been checking through G&G rugby and someone has put a thread stating that one of our new players Salesi manu is playing in the ITM Cup. Also, other rumours that Force have signed or in the process of signing several NZ S15 players. Any substance ?

[shasta]

Ask Tim Horan, Grub Growden or someone East of the rabbit fence. We're all mushrooms over here - apparently.

Only way we are signing NZ players is if they are Wallabies eligible. The only additional foreign spot we got was for a development player, so it is not like we will suddenly be signing any big names.

Interesting about Manu, and if he isn't in the ITM cup we should look at making it happen. He'd learn a damn sight more there than in the Shute Shield, for all that Nucifora reckons it is all we could ever need. In fact, if we have to ship all our players anywhere, we should look closely at getting as many of them into the ITM and Currie Cups as possible. Better standard, and chances are it would actually cost less than Sydney as well.

all depends on who is writing the rumours in G&GR

Manu is playing ITM cup for North Harbour. No word on NZ super rugby players yet.

The silly season has begun

Any truth to the signing of Sam Two-dads (Norton-Knight) ?

[The Boab]

The silly season may have started, but we are 50% on the money and if I remember correctly didn't management state they were talking to a lot of potential players but that went onto the backburner until the new coach was found ?

pffff.. rumours are just that, if you need a few I can make some up for you.

The FACTS however you will hear first .. ain't that right TOCC !!

Dear Gaffa,
Rumour has it that Alby Mathewson moved from Wellington to Auckland to get away from Piri Weepu and now that Weepu has turned up in Auckland AM is keen to move on again. Don't know if it is bad blood between them or if it is simply AM being starved of opportunities. I would'nt want to speculate about that.

Would be quite annoying especially when the guy that is taking your spot is a fat lazy sloth who should be in the gym running not at maccas getting the teams after work out meal, but when he gets back all the food has despaired and he’s not quite sure where it went but is in need of a nap.

Hope he comes back!!

Why wouldn't he come back?? He's True Blue Mate!!

He's Australian, born in Sydney!! Is only eligible for Australia as he played Wallaby U20's.

Ohh - The Current Western Force Rising Star player to boot.

Hope he comes back!!

He is just over there for the off season other wise he would be siting around at home getting in trouble like some sort of AFL player.
