Also being released by Bordeaux isn't that bad as they have Jalibert coming through who's ridiculous. And many 10s NZ have decided aren't great that turned out well, especially leaving at 21 it's a bit young to judge some players.

And if he's no good we have Van der Walt who is decent too.
Wonder what will happen with Dean, Burleigh and Rasolea. Presumably we'll keep 2 of the 3 with Scott, Bennett and JJ signed up.
Still would like to see us being Rory Hutchinson north. Doesn't get gametime at saints but was a handy player at under20s.

Can we cut the ridiculous hype about Hickey - not good enough to be retained in NZ, not good enough to be retained by Bordaux, hasn't played a game for us and already he's the next messiah in the most exciting back line ever ever. Give me, and him, a break.

I had a look for the 'ridiculous hype', 'next messiah' and 'juvenile' comments, but couldn't find them.
