@mikey07 Here you are. Looks like Jordie.
Get real, with a sun tan like that it is clearly a hitherto previously unknown Fijian winger about to become the next big thing!

Any idea what time the squad naming commences?

May have appeared earlier in the thread, but checking the transfers table on wikipedia - the Rebels have signed Harry Potter!

Numbers named in the squads so far
Highlnaders = 39
Blues = 40
Crusdaers = 38
Hurricanes = 39
Chiefs = 39How many exactly are each team allowed to contract as there might well be some players still to be worked on (or possibly cut from the Blues if the maximum is 39)

old man yelling out cloud moment
Is there a distinct lack of star power in NZ rugby at the moment?
Between everyone not in the AB 30 pissing off overseas, or Sabbaticals, it just feels like out Super squads are, on paper at least, way weaker than 15 years ago.
Made worse next year by the usual post-world cup retirements.

@mariner4life It's a matter of perspective. For basically all teams it will be a rebuild year, and I find it quite exciting that new talent will get a run. I'm not convinced by several new signings across the NZ franchises, but there are some great, young players coming through and I can't wait to see them play, develop and - hopefully - improve at SR level. Hopefully, some of them will rise to ABs level.
