For those interested, a bit of an insight into our new lock and a questionable prenounciation of Worcester on his behalf.
Three things occurred to me watching that.
And Venter, Weir and du Preez are here for their love of Worcester?
No issue with that personally. Same way Hougaard started.
I would think that 99% of super league players that travel to play abroad do so for the financial motivation. He seems pretty genuine talking about making the switch in order to repay his mum.
I can't wait either. Just saying!!!!
Thanks for the John Haitt link - new to me and much appreciated.
Seems like a great guy. Interesting to hear the ref to the Canes small pack but out work bigger packs. Be useful for us!
Really excited to see him in Blue and Gold!
I must say I'm not worried about this signing. He'll be great for us I've no doubt, money or no money. Our last two signings from the NZ Super Rugby weren't too shabby in Bryce and Vui. We'd still have Vui if we'd trusted him (and Bristol getting relegated) and signed him on a proper contract to begin with.
Unless you know something I don't Fiver (hugely possible!!), Vui was already signed with Bristol before he came to us and honoured that contract.
I wasn't aware of that, I thought the Pat Lam signed for Bristol after Vui came to us, but really can't be bothered to look it up.
You're right on that account Fiver, but Vui was injury cover, not a signing at the start of the season so had already signed for Bris but in the future.
