    @stargazer Wonder if the the players from the three Auckland teams join other teams to get game time. Real shame for RTS, as he came over earlier to get a start in NPC.

    Legally not possible. a) They're stuck in the Auckland region; if teams didn't get permission to relocate, why would individual players? b) The competition rules don't allow switching teams.
    And why would they? Have you read the quote from my previous post at all? They're working on a Super City Series, so if that goes ahead, they will get some game time.

      Waikato might have to move again if they are to remain in the NPC.

        No games for the Steamers for two weeks with that draw. Not ideal, but helps the lengthy injury list I guess...!

            Game is in Taupo, but a lot of the players might need to stay there for the next couple of nights...

              I suppose the Waikato team may be able to go back to their families over the weekend (if approved) as they will be in L3 regardless.

              KC training is in Mangakino tonight, which is closer to Taupo than Te Kuiti.

                perhaps a full backline in 2 weeks, ..albeit functioning backline might require a different change lol

                  I'm almost tempted to stick with the incumbents from the Wellington game! 🙂

                    Hipkins said the boundary will follow the coast south to Mōkau and then east along the northern Pureora Forest Park, and then north to include Te Awamutu, Karāpiro and Cambridge where it will meet the existing boundary.”

                      ha ha TTT can go to the crusaders now if he doesnt start performing, both Carter and Campbell played very well (although Carter out of position). If available I would be playing Wainui and Ratave every time, but at least guys like Webber and Carter showed they wanted to be there.
