Also, didn't someone say Rueben O'Neill is off to the Force?
Yep

Saw a rumour on G&GR that Dre Pakeho had signed with Chiefs (although, may have been confused with Waikato in NPC)
Just signed a new deal with the Reds for two years earlier this season so seems unlikely.
@SouthernMann Howden is off as well?

Have taken a 2 + 2 = 5 approach with Howden. Only signed on for a year at the end of 2025. Someone is being brought in to take his spot. When the PR machine has been
Confirming extonsions, it started with the award winners and Howden wasn't included.
@canes4life I had already included Rohan Wingham and Haig. Have updated the table to add in Kellow.

Bryn Hall
As a player?
Not confirmed yet, but someone mentioned it on the Fern that Viljoen was potentially off and we’ve signed Bryn Hall as a player.

Pakeho does have Waikato connections but I'm not sure we need him. Sure, we could be losing three of last year's midfielders but I'd rather promote local players.

On Fehi going, is there any update?
I guess we’ll find out in the first AB squad naming of the year.

Wasn’t David Havilli a rumoured Crusaders departure?
No he is staying.
I can confirm that Hugh Renton won’t be returning to the Highlanders so you can lock that in as a confirmed departure.
@Landers92 bit of a shame. Any word what the future holds for him? Given what he came back from injury wise I'd wondered if retirement might be on the Horizon.

Lol how is that guy not leaving? Surely, he's getting some pay top up not to go and chase the money overseas. Either that or he's delusional and thinks he has a chance to claim that 12 jersey over Barrett or Tupaea.
