@Machpants apparently has been 'working' with other teams too...not sure where he's from.
I liked the bit with Roberts-Te Nana

I've seen him in clips with Southland, the Steamers and Manawatu. Maybe more.
He's from Feilding.

Koroi at 10 and Ioane at 12 should be fun to watch for anyone but Northland supporters
FIFY

It's an opportunity for Northland.
Koroi can look amazing but he has plenty of shockers too. He's not a guy you would trust at 10 across a season
@Duluth our luck, we'll have a blinder tomorrow...show us all what we been capable of
4 Setefano Funaki
5 Temo Mayanavanua
7 Jarod ByrnesVery green trio there, huge wraps on debutant Uluinakauvadra, hopefully most of these youngsters will be the better from this season, knowing what is required for them to step it up, while we cut loose some of the underperforming players.
Assume McNamara will move to lock as I believe Uluinakauvadra is a #7, although is a tall rangy 7 IIRC
Wonder if Rene has picked up that 'saders contract and I assume he will be back next year as he wants his ton.
Still a fair bit of talent and experience sitting on that injury list.
