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. -

@Fredsaua12 It could be. I can't remember the date when I saw it.

BOP plays Counties on July 26th

The Canterbury vs Manawatu game is next week on the 25th July is it not?
A check shows you are correct:
The Turbos will kick off their 2025 campaign preparations with two strong preseason matchups:
Friday 18 July – Turbos vs Hawke’s Bay (away)
Friday 25 July – Turbos vs Canterbury – 2:00 PM, Johnston Park – Feilding
…Big issue for Lstu was staying within a game plan not to mention looking for the miracle offloads
