NPC - news, injuries etc

[Canes4life]

Geoff Cridge's profile on the Hurricanes site has his province as Wellington, could mean he has shifted or more likely a typo...

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life WTF? Jonah Lowe's profile is non-existent.

@Stargazer said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc:

@Canes4life WTF? Jonah Lowe's profile is non-existent.

Come on you've got to admit that's pretty funny

[Stargazer]

@Bones I'm looking forward to his profile appearing on the Chiefs or Highlanders website.

[Tim]

@Stargazer Didn't he spend a couple of years in Auckland, and play NZ U20 under MacDonald and Umaga?

[Stargazer]

@Tim His last two years of highschool, he attended Kings College. During those two years, he played for Auckland U18 and Blues U18. He has not played for Blues U20, but Hurricanes U20 after his return to the Bay.

@Stargazer https://www.hurricanes.co.nz/squad/player/jonah-lowe/

Though maybe you should alert Plumtree that he's missing from the squad page - might explain why he never gets picked!

@Steven-Harris Can you guys stop taking our players you got a production line up there don’t need our players

[Yeetyaah]

Anyone know if Fletcher Smith will be playing for Waikato again this season?

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Sorry, don't know. Have his contract duration written down as "unknown".

[Tim]

Looks like Lisati Milo-Harris is off to Taranaki.

[Stargazer]

Another Counties signing:

[mikedogz]

The guys they have announced were already at Counties. Just up grades to contracts.

[mikedogz]

Counties Pre season prep as well as academy

[Tim]

Schwenke and Slade have moved south.

[Yeetyaah]

The news of Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi re-signing only states for NZR and the Chiefs. Nothing about Taranaki. Maybe he's moving, or did I miss something?

[Stargazer]

Mitch Jacobson and James Tucker recommit to Waikato

[Stargazer]

@Tim Looking at that green jersey, Slade moved north :smiling_face_with_open_mouth:

[ARHS]

@Stargazer

I am so rapt to hear this. I struggle to understand why both have been repeatedly overlooked for Super rugby, and hope they can be contracted for 2020.

[Yeetyaah]

@ARHS aye Tucker was especially good IMO
