Rugby Australia should be keeping him here for 5 years with an eye for the RWC. Has massive potential.

Agree, he’ll be 25 at the next WC

Canham re-signs to 2025. Been really impressed with the progress he's made.

 

[Mick The Munch]

Great resigning - jeez we have young squad.

Just 25 and 1 month

With all the unsigned players I am worried our eggs are all in the Thor basket and we don't have the money to retain enough quality.

 

[RugbyReg]

Hodge going should free up a bit?

Although Nic White could cost a bit too....

I don't think there's any possibility of White coming, it's all just very hypothetical musings by Doran.

I see Nic White and JOC (James O'Connor) as the 9/10 combo in the West next year.

 

[Wallaby Man]

Murmurs are Philip to Tahs. Our other RA top up players potentially going are Uelese and Pone. Not on massive salaries but would free up some capital none the less. Hodge going as well helps and To'omua was never truly replaced with salary.

Hosea is almost guaranteed to re-sign and for more money than currently on.

I also think we’d be serious contender to bring Tuipulotu back if he doesn’t go to Scotland.

Good for most scenario could be;

Pone - Reds
White/Tuipulotu - Rebels
JOC (James O'Connor)/Uelese - Force
Philip - Tahs

 

[Mick The Munch]

I would rather see us bring in a quality centre to fill the Hodge hole

all good in theory, but who could you see being available

Dare I suggest Kerevi?

 

[Mick The Munch]

I see Matt Proctor is leaving Northampton

 

[Dctarget]

Joe Pincus & Lachie Anderson have both re-signed for two more years.

Would love to see them go to another level. Both have pace, especially Joe but yet to be amazed by them. Joe really needs to work on his defensive positioning.
