Maybe he wanted to please his new masters. He did look good. And that kind of size in the front row is needed.
Lussick on that form, Api and Jake T, then Myles, Buhrer and whoever else they throw into the pack (including possible the u20's boppers) - that'as a big upgrade over what we've been running out this year. Then Mateo and others off the bench and that's a solid pack rotation.
Would still like one more big (literally and figuratively speaking) back row signing if the coin is available.
Maybe we should throw a few dollars at Tepai Moeroa. He's only 19, is Lussick's size and guys traditionally do well coming from the muck of Parra to the glorious beaches. I think he's off contract too*.
*Actually might not be but I thought I saw his name bandied about as one who could leave
