    Harry Inch is off to the Warriors.

    Interesting move. A year ago was seen as one of the best 10s in schoolboy footy. Wonder if he saw his pathway blocked both at local and national levels.

    Does he have a league background?

    TBF, with that haircut he looks like he should be playing bogan rugby. 🙂

            He must be eligible for Wales?

              @African-Monkey not seen that in any of the reports to be honest.
              There were a few Wales qualified Kiwis mentioned in the Welsh media a while ago but he wasn't one of them.

                After getting tonked 00 - 34 at home by the Stormers in their last game they might need a few more soon to be Welsh Qualified Kiwis.

                  I keep forgetting to ask why you're not surprised? Does he have a league background or does his body and style of play suit league better?

                    Saumaki runs straight and hard so looks more suited to RL to me. I can see the attraction to a NRL club. Not the tallest for a loose forward.

                      Yeah, I watched a couple of clips of him online and he looked pretty league body to me too.

                        I swear the interview was probably one statement from the warriors

                        So you can accurately kick field goals and from 40m....

                            So the Crusaders CEO is calling the NRL of being lazy, the CEO of the NRL is calling Rugby 360 lazy. 🙂

                            I bet you there's a few NPC CEOs looking at Mansbridge's comments and sniggering.

                              Unlike him to have a sook after someone leaving their academy.

                              You'd think that the Crusaders would never do such a thing.....

                                Inch had discussed the complexity of the New Zealand rugby pathways system with the Crusaders in comparison to that of league.

                                    In league, if you’re a talent - there’s the Warriors (or another NRL side) and if they want you, everything is funneled through their system and age grade sides.

                                    In NZ, it’s NPC teams who think they have devine right to bringing through the talent, the Super sides who think likewise, NZR comes in with a few thoughts and rep teams at age group, there’s the club system as well.

                                        To an extent - but if you’re being presented one pathway to the Warriors that looks pretty straight forward then another which is more complicated, you can see the differences.

                                        In rugby, you could have one set of coaches at NPC telling you one thing about your development. Another set at Super (in a different city) telling you another

                                        I think the pathways system here does need an overhaul.
