    @Tim Off the top of my head think the below players missed out :

    Dan Sinkinson
    Michael Manson - now with NZ 7s
    Meihana Grindlay
    Mitchell Drummond - possible WTG with crusaders
    PJ Sheck
    Rohan Wingham
    Mason Tupaea - possible WTG with the Blues

          @Tim feel like someone on here last month was saying Arscott to Blues WTG. But no idea of the accuracy of the statement.

                  A couple of those should be NDC players, which I assume is separate to the WTG.

                    Gibson Popoali’i from Counties Manukau must be one of the unluckiest players not to have made any of either the main or wider squads
                    Had the best stat for beating players in the 2025 Bunnings Npc
                    59 defenders beaten🤔
                    I did hear the Blues were looking at him
                    Also Le Roux Malan thought played very well the Magpies ..
                    Anyone else can anyone think of .?

                        @Daffy-Jaffy makes sense the money would be way better than a WTG or possibly super

                          Ryan Coxon would have been a handy addition to a WTG. SR experience (not with the Force now), so maybe has an overseas contract.

                            @Daffy-Jaffy This reds squad is pretty stacked. 3 decent 10s to choose from.

                                    They are usually announced prior to December so assuming over the next week or so.

                                    Would be cool if they unveiled the jerseys on squad announcement day.

                                      "Rebuild in progress...Stay tuned for new shop and 2026 range launch coming at the end of November"
