@mikey07 said in NPC - news, injuries etc:
@canes4life TBN left on Tuesday, I haven’t heard anything about Whitman have you seen anything on him, but yes very weird a few Canes players aren’t lacing up for Wellington, I haven’t even seen Billy Proctors name on MSPs team list since the Canes finished.
There could be perfectly good reasons for him not making the MSP team like the Doolies coaches not considering him good enough to unseat the incumbent, or something as simple as not being a financial member of the club.
-
@bones Not at the moment!!! The incumbent is Ben Tuiatua who I know diddly squat about other than this appearing to be his first season at Premier level for MSP. He musty be getting a bit long in the tooth as he was playing Prem Reserve way back in 2010.
http://www.clubrugby.co.nz/wellington/clubs-teams-people.php?person_id=2313There is also a mention of someone that might be him being included in the Wgtn Samoan Squad in 2015 playing out of the Ories Club. http://www.collegerugby.co.nz/national/story.php?id=1591&page=12&sort=`date`+DESC&searchfield=&searchstring=

Where's Connor Garden-Bachop at with his rehab. Is he going to be back in time.
Here's a quote from the ODT article about the pre-season game with Southland.
"Most notable among the injured players was midfielder Thomas Umaga-Jensen.
The 23-year-old has had a horror run of injuries in recent years and picked up a ‘‘banged-up shoulder’’ in club rugby last Saturday.
Donnelly said the team was waiting on assessments to determine how bad it was and what it would mean for his role this year.

@southernmann haven't heard anything about CGB but I expect him to be named in the squad. Same with his bro.
That's shit for Thomas aye, what point as a player do you say enough is enough and start to look at another path?
-
He doesn't make your top 15?

I wouldn't move on even if injured all the time. He's young and banking 6 figures each year.

Soutland (extended) squad for the preseason game against Otago:
and Otagos teams for this game
Freedom getting a full game, glad to see hes back firing,
Faddes at 15, hopefully he hasn;t lost too much pace,
Gilbert at 10, we've talked about it but good to see them try it out
Sio at 13, normally a 12 or 14, another we change for him
big super names still being rested
-
@bovidae he wasn't listed in the squad so assume its just a training with the squad deal, whilst super guys are resting
-
I'm happy it looks like Ray Nu'u is being given a good chance to stamp his mark on the 12 jersey.
The backs look really sharp. Just a shame about Thomas Umaga-Jensen. Such a talent
Front row is quite weak with our first stringers out.

I though JGB was done for the whole season

@stargazer Wohoo!
-
Presumably most of those not in the Centurions squad who are playing here will be in the Lions squad.
-
@bobily2 Where did you find that Wellington team line-up? I don't see it anywhere on their social media.
-
@stargazer looks like its on their Insta
@kiwiwomble I only see the list of their Centurion Squad on instagram.

@stargazer sorry, thought thats the one you meant, had missed the other

@stargazer looks like it has been removed, it was on there last night. Strange.
-
I did see a headline earlier in the week that the Wallabies were trying to leave Aust early. That would still mean the Perth test would be in doubt.
@bovidae if they can get two tests in that would be great news. Wouldn't mind seeing a full NPC with All Blacks though, it would be quite refreshing.
