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

[Bovidae]

@dogmeat Any Auckland player who played for a NH club can be picked?

[mariner4life]

@Bovidae said in Ultimate NPC: - Southland:

@Kiwiwomble Yes, the original team gets first selection.

so a guy who plays 7 times for Southland as a 19 year old has to play there despite playing 56 times over 9 years for Otago?

This concept is a sham

It's only if a player is claimed by 2 or more teams. Who does NH miss out on?

Unless we want Cooke for the Magpies.

I'm pretty sure that Southland wouldn't leave him out, and they were his first team. He was born in Invercargill, educated in Invercargill and had his first year of NPC for Southland. So I don't reckon Otago through and through.

Which means that Otago can't have him. Two good options there though.

as opposed to in the Blue of Otago being fucking amazing.

I'm just annoyed we didn't select Randell, Kronfeld and Timu when they were at high school ... although Randell would have only been 16 I think (he first played for Otago as a 17 year old).
