Gunner

Bekhuis sp?
Did Chris King play for them?

Bovidae

Dermody as the other prop.

Frank Oliver for lock. Pokere played for Southland too.

shark

Well done, that fills the lock and TH prop spots, while Pokere would oust Matt Saunders. Surely there is a better centre than Kendrick Lynn, too.

Maybe a combo of Mark Seymour/Kawau?

I think if a guy can't represent two teams, then surely the swede-munchers lose Oliver to Manawatu and need another lock. Who were the locks during the RS tenure a few years back? Beckhuis and....?

Bovidae

Steve Jackson was there a short time

Other way around isn't it? He was Southland first then the Poo. Also more games for Southland?

Rules have been adjusted to 'first province (at first class level).

Stags have first dibs on Oliver

Some good steals from other sides there.

Bovidae

That was the plan although I think only Goldie and maybe Oliver would make their other teams starting XV.

mariner4life

surely the hooker is the little bald bloke who played about a thousand games for them, and at one point people were saying he should be an AB (but was always way too small)

Bovidae

@mariner4life They could have Rutledge or Hall. Flynn was an AB though.

Norm Hewitt is an option too. I would vote against him for the Magpies team purely because he left us for Southland.

dogmeat

I would have Ken Stewart ahead of Dixon at 6. Natural number 7 but good enough to play at 6 for the AB's.

Failing that good as Leicester was he could only get into the side when Stewart wasn't available so Ken has to be first choice.

Goldie is Otago through and through.

Glory years.

Kiwiwomble

oh, i agree, but if the rules are first team :man_shrugging_light_skin_tone:

ruling @Crucial ?

Both are before my time really so we can make that change.

@Kiwiwomble Yes, the original team gets first selection.

dogmeat

There has to be an exception to the rule though for Harbour given the NPC had been going for over a decade before they were formed
