Did you really think...

he would sign with you...

You were scared shitless mate.

Yeah well he got pretty close to signing with us too.

Gutted that he's not to be honest!

He might have wanted to sign with a winning team like Auckland

At the end of the day I figured he sign with Canterbury, I think reflects well on his character that he didn't join Auckland. As it would have basically enraged Canterbury fans and I think he would have been conscious of not betraying the team where he's already had so much success.

Just how may times do ARU officials need to stand up and say 'we haven't made an offer'

Thanks for taking part in the beat up folks.

Yay, we'll win because of this. And only this :@
