Are the Canterbury selectors drunk?
-
Hearing from a source Du Plessis Kirifi has signed for North Harbour for the Bunnings NPC
Wants to be closer to his partner Mila Reuelu-Buchanan who plays netball for the Northern Stars
For me personally I would place this one more in the rumour basket as North Harbour don’t have a lot of cash floating around at the minute but on saying that would totally understand if he is on the move but also do know he’s a passionate Wellington boy .
Also unusual because I believe Harbour already have 2 sevens in Jed Melvin and Karl Ruzich
I will follow up with a contact at Harbour -
Canterbury squad:
-
I’m sorry, what on earth is this “fly halves” we speak of
-
@zedsdeadbaby nekminut we will be naming our teams:
15-9 then 1-8 -
@zedsdeadbaby You mean first fives?
-
It’s a bloody debacle.
Also I note Canterbury spelt it Fly Halfs too.
Give me my fraction named positions any day.
-
@taniwharugby surprised you’s let go of tevita latu, he was one of your better players last year
-
@deeezenuts agree to disagree, was underwhelmed with majority of his time on the park (tried far too hard) did have 1 very good game though...expected much better.
That said, I think Dale got him up there and with Dale leaving, I think it was a mutual thing him not returning, although I also heard he was close to signing with MP which would have seen him keener to stay.
-
Tom Martin the only player who has come in from outside the province.
I assume this is Tom Martin from Hamilton Marist? It was good to see him back playing this year after some serious injuries in recent years. I thought he could have been part of the Waikato squad again.
Good to see Te Rama Reuben is back playing too. I was told last year that he had chronic knee problems and had returned home to Rotorua.

Fucking Cantabs ... has a sly look at the Magpies list to make sure they haven't done the same.
-
@taniwharugby I believe both Latu and Dale's connection goes back to the Sydenham club in Canterbury which saw Dale recruit Latu down to Southland and then again to Northland. This season he returned to Sydenham for club rugby and now with Canterbury

I'm so happy I not only one who feels this way!
Especially with NPC , which I admit to being my favourite comp!
Have to say I really starting to look forward to it as well, a shield challenge in Manaia this weekend to help stoke the fire.
