might have missed it, have we chatted about the jersey design comp? love the idea, real role of the dice, my football club use to do it every year and then put 4 up for vote by members so worse case you kind of knew which ever one was selected a decent number of people liked.....i hope its more than just blue

If only we could pick up Springer to replace Lowe.
We'd have the full collection of promising young wingers then.
Springer is a poor man's Lowe though, eh @Canes4life

1 better than four try Lowe.

The squad looks fairly settled and easy the predict. With only question mark being at looseforward (unless Casey is promoted).
Prop is settled. DLB looks like he will be back. Wingham out, hopefully staying in a WTG spot.
Every other spot in the fulltime squad. Looks fairly easy to lock in.
WTG is more interesting. Especially four roles.
Looseforwards. Two spots. If Casey is upgraded. There will be two spots open. I do wonder of George Reeves may be looked at.
- Will they take a risk and give that job to 19-year-old Mika Muliaina. I think he is the best option available.
Midfield. Grindlay is the rumour. A very useful player to have in this group.
Outside back. I can see it either being Tayne Harvey or Jae Broomfield. We don't need to have another outside back. Harvey has played a fairbit of outside back. We have plenty of guys who can do a role with the outside backs. Knewstubb, Robinson, all the outsides. Harvey can add extra cover both for the midfield and on the wing. As well as prioritising his development.

Will wider training groups be announced with squads tomrorow too? At this stage I’m more interested in that then the squad which as others have said is essentially a known quantity at this stage.
Landers WTG will be named Friday

Anyone got some Andrew Knewstubb NPC highlights…
-
@upthelanders just youtube Canterbury matches from this season, like we all know it's not ideal but him coming down happened very late in the piece when Jacomb couldn't get out of his contract. Fingers crossed Millar avoids injury, if Knewstubb finds himself out there at 10 expect Nareki or Hurley to do a lot of the in play kicking
