    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.

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

        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! 🙂

            Judging by the description (map not yet published, Mangakino might be in the new zone.

            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.

                @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.

                                    For the netballers, only 4 players were allowed to leave, but not any of the Auckland-based support staff. That included the team manager and physio amongst others.

                                    The MoH should be consistent though.

                                    Where were the teams going to be based in their latest proposal? Was it still at Wairakei?

                                      @bovidae yea Taupo. The early word is the 3 teams aren't keen on a 'tri-series' of any kind so that's probably all she wrote for NH, CM & Akl.

                                          We're paying people wages and they can't play. We can't generate revenue. All the gaming venues which we rely on for a lot of our community game are trying hard to help but their venues are shut. Sponsors are very loyal but they don't do it for no return either, so that's another difficult part to manage.

                                          so wages are a sunk cost, players don't generate revenue. NPC crowds don't cover fark all. Sponsors have already paid up...
                                          .. the one nugget there - a LOT of the income comes from.. pokies. "gaming venues".
                                          Ciggie sponsorship got shut down years ago - this is so much worse.
