@Nepia Yeah hes signed a 2 year deal.Theres an article in Hawkes bay today which also mentions Pasquale Dunn has gone back to Auckland and obviously Falcon is unavailable with injury. Ben Smith a north harbour sevens rep and Antonio Mikaele Tu,u are both playing club rugby in the bay and trying to get a magpies spot.
@kiwimatrix Great news! I see that Ben Smith is a Hastings Boys 1st XV product, so also homegrown.

Mason Emerson was grabbing a coffee from the same place as me this morning. He looked very fit and even more muscly than last year - I hope he has not lost any speed. I always thought he was smaller - maybe he looks taller with his huge mop of hair

Hopefully better supporters gear, I rushed out and bought a jersey, t shirt and hoodie when they first signed with Palladin, well I got my sister to grab them for me and send them over, and I've barely worn any of them because they're kind of ugly.

Didn't know where else to post this.

@Tim Good spot, Tim.
He is not in Havelock North's squad list for 2019 and I wondered where he had gone.
@Number-10 Sounds like he had recently been some kind of midseason replacement for Verona in Italy.

@Stargazer That answers the U20s question.
@Nepia It doesn't anwer the question clearly, though. What kind of visa issue? Considering he's a professional rugby player, he must at least have a work visa now (maybe the Talent (Arts, Culture, Sports) Work Visa). A visa to enter Argentina? Can't imagine they wouldn't let him in for the JWC.
I'd love to hear an explanation.
-
Sam McNicol to play again this year, hopefully, starting with club rugby.
Is still currently signed to the Chiefs.
-
Yay good news, and even playing club rugby for the good guys when he comes back

I wonder whether the HBRU is going to announce this officially?
wfc_axemen: Our club would like to congratulate @ollie_sapsford for signing with @hbmagpies he will be a great part of your team. Ollie has been an absolute professional and role model for all. Making him an important part of our club for the past few years. Ollie can often be found on Hataitai Park working on his tan or in the hair care aisle at your local super market. From everyone at the club we wish you all the best on your next chapter and hope to see you in an Axemen jersey again in the future! #WellingtonAxemen #GiveEmTheAxe
