Tiaan Taukipulu, Adrian Brown and Langi Gleeson to long-term deals.
Jed Holloway back too
We are going to have a lot of backrowers that can kind of play lock.
Better then this year with a lot of locks that couldn't play lock..We are going to have a lot of backrowers that can kind of play lock.
Williams and Douglas were thrown to the wolves a bit.
Confirmation of Hanigan's return.

Plan is for April. Sadly you'd expect two week hotel quarantine is still a thing then.
Pleasing to see experienced players like Holloway, hooper and hanigan return to the fold.That's not particularly useful. When does the season kick off?
They did really well though. They're actually two guys who have the potential to be long term options at lock.
I've been thinking about the DC recruitment strategy and noticed this little bit on the Reset 22 profiles..
Rahboni Warren-Vosayaco Centre/ No.8.. Perhaps DC is thinking a bit differently about the squad makeup and could have a very left field but tasty combination that solves a lot of the squad dilemma............
How's this for a different matchday 23..
1. Angus Bell
2. Porecki
3. HJH (Harry Johnson-Holmes) (or A. N. Other TH) Need this slot filled above all else.
4. Douglas/Caird..? still weak here
5. Whetton/Williams/Hanigan.. as above
6. Swinton
7. Hooper
8. Holloway or Will Harris
9. Gordon
10. Harrison/Donaldson
11. Perese - (Potentially a Korobeite style everywhere man)
12. Warren-Vosayaco.. this is the wildcard. Could be a game changer at 12 giving us that big body we need.
13. Foketi/Walton
14. Ramm
15. Harrison/Donaldson.
That configuration gives us the backline we need with a big unit at 12, a gun winger in Perese..
We've got a ton of backrowers, so RWV won't be missed in that slot.
Solves a few problems, worth a try in my book.
They did really well though. They're actually two guys who have the potential to be long term options at lock.
What ever happened to Cameron Skelton? I remember that Chieka had some plan to bring him back to the Warathas when he was HC? it all seemed to fizzle out, may be like Cameron Skelton?Yep and they would be better for the experience..they are developing well and the season playing top flight Super Rugby aided fast tracking their development. They definitely deserve to be retained and developed further under Coleman. I am actually ok with the locks with Hanigan returning - just need one star - Rodda category - maybe one of the young uns could over time get there..
