@Jonty-lean The replacement Lock/loosie appears to be Aaron Carroll from BOP -
Was excellent at lock last year but played more often at 6 for BOP this season i think.
More on the bench I think, as Franklin played at 6. I thought Carroll was taller but he is another in the long list of NZ undersized locks.
I wonder why they didn't pick up Cridge? He got picked on his U20s form and had three years as a Super player (arguably undeserved and didn't excel too much at NPC early on) and in the last two seasons he's actually gone well at NPC and is a lock sized lock who can play loose forward as well. Seems strange to pick up an undersized lock instead.
Ah well, the vagaries of Super Rugby team selections.
@Nepia a little disappointed that they did not look at Cridge , he’s over 2ms and he is an athlete...
But I am even more disappointed for Sam Caird, given that he was in the squad as injury cover ,he carried much of Northlands workload with so many of the locks in the injury ward during the season..and whilst he does not have bulk , he makes up for it with workrate plus..and does have exceptional skills in the air..
On saying that good luck to Carroll, hope it works out so I do stand to be corrected -
Teflon Hanks still heavily involved

Admin day - Is that a one second Jersey leak at 2m 57s? If so it looks traditionally awful.
@Daffy-Jaffy just looks like their 18/19 jersey

Fractured, like the franchise

All teams last years Jersey looked better

@Stargazer what a crock, how the marketing team sold that concept
Amazing how they can take a simple rugby jersey and try to justify why it looks shit.
Was this only a training Jersey? One of the better looking ones IMO.
