    @higgins Was just looking at that and was quite surprised to see his name, Holland might sign him for the Canes given his love for signing props over 30.

    Props over 30, 10s under 20.

    Magpies under 5, but preferably under 4.

    @bovidae It must be at least ten years since Irishman Michael Bent, who must be in his late 30s by now, last fronted up for Taranaki

    1. Refer to this article.

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/taranaki-daily-news/sport/300359089/prop-michael-bent-back-for-taranaki-bulls

    Also:

    former Kings College midfielder and Taranaki age group league rep Meihana Grindlay

    See King's don't just raid Hawke's Bay. 🙂

    Another thing from that article about the Taranaki squad, is that Lisati Milo-Harris missed out as one of the halfbacks. From the Chiefs in 2020 to not being in the Naki squad a year later. Maybe a useful addition to another province's squad?

    He played club rugby in Auckland & Taranaki this year. Maybe he's coming back to Auckland?

    @bovidae Grindlay does not count as the article refers him to a Rugby League Age Grade Taranaki rep, no mention of rugby at all.

    Manawatu's superb recruitment continues. Jarrad Adams has signed up.

    @bobily2 That sucks for Auckland.

    He's a good signing. Got huge potential. Unlucky to not get a Super contract.

    It will be interesting to see who is in the Auckland squad, as we are finding out that a number of last year's players won't be.

    @dice If Hodgeman gets called up to the AB's Aucklands front rowers could be very green other than Renata. The promising Fatongia Paea is playing club in North Harbour so may also have moved on. Maybe Hamdeyn Tuipulotu or the two young NZU20 props get promoted? Not sure who else is in the system.

    @bobily2 I saw that happen in the game against NZ U20s and immediately thought "season over".

    Harbour NPC squad:

    Unfortunately no GCT, and Ethan Roots is playing in Wales. Dillon Hunt still injured. Surprised that Lemeki Namoa isn't in the squad.

    @tim Strange about Lemeki Namoa, not listed as injured so maybe lured away elsewhere. Back to Auckland maybe? That's a strong front row group. I rate Fatongia Pea from my local Pakuranga club. I see Suafua back north after trying to crack the Ta$man team for a couple of seasons. Also interesting to see the former Taranaki rake Rhys Marshall back from Munster? Seems to have been away forever but is still only 28. Could be a sound squad pick up for a super team.

    @bovidae Suspect the red blocks are for outside players. Henry Taefu was with the Force this year.

    Haven't seen Marshall's name on any team sheets.
