I’m use to sio…it’s almost a tradition to have a card magnet in midfield

[Grooter]

@Kiwiwomble would be awesome if he made the all blacks, he's a much better player than Ennor in my opinion, happy with Otagos proping stocks

all pretty cool, interesting these guys with "pedigree" are at johnnies rather than OB's or Kings, hopefully some guys to look out for in the future

no idea Foster was still knocking out dunners

[Grooter]

@Kiwiwomble gawd Joseph's son is the spitting image, wouldn't know the fella on the left was Maugers kid if it didn't say tho

[SouthernMann]

@macmanus I wonder why Ajay Faleafaga hasn't made it. Have they just left out all the Highlanders U20 players? Pretty cool to see John Lesie's son in there.

[macmanus]

@SouthernMann I think so, also Finn Hurley, Holland or Wingham. Holland obviously will be part of Otago squad.

@macmanus

I would be expecting Gilbert to be in the 10 group, especially as a starting Super Rugby 10. Freedom also available in the outside backs. I reckon Faleafaga and Asi will likely be in the outside back group, as well as Finn Hurley too.

We have some really good props available.

[Bovidae]

Speaking of outside backs, where is Jermaine Pepe at now regarding making the main squad?

yeah, a bit uncertain about Vahaakolo, he put that weird post up last week

[SouthernMann]

I see it. Certainly looks like he is calling time on his career.

[Kiwiwomble]

@SouthernMann which is sad, seemed like a good bloke when i met him in melbourne the other week and would honestly be a better option than gregory

[Higgins]

@macmanus Blimey, just two players from University. What's going on down there that things have dropped away that drastically from the days when the students dominated the rep squads?

[Stargazer]

@macmanus Interesting. Al Momoisea (a Napier Boys' old boy) was still playing for Napier Pirates earlier in the club season. He must have moved to Otago in May. He played for the Hawke's Bay U19 team at the Jock Hobbs Memorial U19 tournament in 2017, so I assume he's been in our academy.
