Mogg re-signed with Montpellier until 2019 and I am fairly sure Phil Kite is now signed with Northland in ITM Cup. His name has also floated around some French clubs I hear.

I am friends with UJ's brother chris who is also in france. Apparently they are both off contract next season and want to come back to Australia....Chris sent me a link to their highlights....looks good but think he has only had 4 or 5 top14 games this year. I read in midi olympique (french...

Did anyone else see on the tahs Twitter they had a gen blue induction day? Do they ever name these squads? There always seems to be an element of secrecy around them unlike the other super rugby sides.

You'd think they'd make a call after the NRC rather than Shute shield though wouldn't you?

Do we still only have two 9s? I was at the Rams vs Queensland country game and there was a halfback Tayler Adams who came on and had some really impressive skills. Someone said he played NZ20s?

Vasa Faleali'i has signed in France for next season, so no tahs

Yes, hearing Tala is in talks with a few french teams as World Cup cover

Just a feeling I get, friends with an agent who has brought it up in the past. I also don't understand why they don't try get players on loan from another province like what they do in the northern hemisphere. Or at least look a bit broader than just qld club rugby I'm sure there are handy 10s...

Too much agent power keeping players and coaches from getting picked/dropped IMO

Where's Pettowa Paraka? He scored a load of tries in the NRC would love to see him charging around giving the backs some front foot ball

There are a couple of big bopper tightheads in France who are Australian. Chris Seuteni and Barry Faamausilli, they'd be the type of player i'd go hunting to fix a front row problem

UJ Seuteni's older much bigger brother a tighthead prop Chris Seuteni....playing in France looks like he loves a scrum! Wonder if there has been contact there....

wonder where this leaves paraka/talakai/kite and co. Would assume only one more prop will be signed now?

Has anyone else noticed how good Sam Windsor has gone the last couple of NRC games? Ex canberra lad who spent some time at Leinster i think. got a good write up as a 'young gun' in the comp today. Think he would be a suitable replacement for Pat McCabe? Seems to be a good utility

Im actually surprised they haven't contracted a couple of props already, would of thought after 2 strong NRC games Paraka and kite/talakai would of been enough to get them a deal. What else could they be looking for? Other than perhaps waiting for Fagaase to come back from injury....Are they...
