    Napier Technical 28 (M Lealaiasalanoa, T Boswell-Wakefield, J Faia tries; M Watson 2 cons, 2 pens; L Shaw pen),
    MAC 28 (P Latu, F Asolua, R Paewai, P Siofolau tries; V Kereti 4 cons ).
    HT: MAC 21-14.

    Now I have had a closer llok at the above , is the P Latu who scored a try for MAC the P Latu that rejoined Tech from up Hamiltopn way a couple of weeks back? If so then the three players my guys acquired my well be a "transfer fee" for Penikolo Latu moving in the other direction if it is the same player.

      @Higgins No, Penikolo Latu played for Tech at second five-eighth. The P Latu who plays for MAC is Paula Latu, who played no. 8 and prop druing this game.

        And again this weekend 🤔

          Maybe he hasn't paid his annual subscription at Hasting RSC and they refuse to cow tow to him until he becomes a financial member.

            @Higgins He played for Central (Nash Cup) earlier this season.

            Seriously though, I fear he's playing for a spot in the Canterbury squad.

              Oh, that counts out that theory then. Is he still signed for HB for the 2019 Mitre10 Cup?

                Is he not signed with the Magpies this year?

                TBH, he may as well try make the Canterbury squad to further his career because he isn't going to progress under John "We need a big 7ft Saffa lock but I'll play a midget from Wellington over anyone taller then 6ft 4" Plumtree.

                  The duration of his contract with the Bay hasn't been published, but if it runs parallel to that of his Canes' contract, he'll be off-contract and free to sign anywhere else.

                    @Nepia Could also be another reason why the HBRFU appear to have signed Isaia Walker-Leawere. Still no official announcement about it yet I see.

                      @Stargazer Bloody typical, we front for his wage bill for years for an almost nil return and when he finally might not be a season ticket holder in the casualty ward of the local hospital he departs. That might not be his first choice of course as maybe he might not have been offered another HBRFU contract as their patience might finally have run out.

                        I wish all Premiers squad lists were published by the HBRU (like Waikato does, for example), or by the teams themselves. Only a few do ... like

                          It's weird that there are easy things that the HBRU can do like this bit they just don't seem that interested.

                            @Nepia They don't seem that interested in social media at all. They only use FB and one third of their posts are about their sponsors. Apparently, rugby fans aren't important and they don't understand that good communication with rugby fans creates interest in playing and watching rugby (so can increase playing numbers and bums on seats during M10 Cup).

                              I guess as they're doing relatively well financially (when compared to other rugby entities) they don't have the ability to look wider when it comes to marketing and promotion.

                                The Pirates Club seem to acknowledge their sponsors nicely in their team naming sheet although I am somewhat distressed to see the Meeanee Hotel (actually pretty much during my entire life it has been called the Plumpton Park Hotel) as one of their backers.

                                    Also back to Chch? Should we read anything into this? He's a Nelsonian, who first went to Nelson College, then Christchurch Boys HS.

                                        @African-Monkey Cridge should still be contracted to Hawke's Bay. Don't know about Smith.

                                          Why would we need Fletcher Smith when we already have Lincoln McClutchie?
