@Duluth I think he lives down there so that would make the most sense. Canterbury are stacked in the propping department with Newell, Williams, Jager, Brewis etc so will he even get much game time?

Yeah, that's the reason he has a tough choice
He claimed he wanted to go to the RWC when he came back to NZ (I think he has almost zero chance). Skipping the NPC wouldn't help, particularly after missing so much rugby for the Canes this year. Also battling for game time in the NPC wouldn't be a good look

@KiwiMurph it looks good, question though, does it have a track around it? if not then why the big curved ends?

@Canes4life said in NPC 2022:
@bobily2 yeah he transitioned at the beginning of the club year to a tight-head prop. There's no doubt he's going to be mobile, whether he can scrum is another question altogether.
I'm a little perplexed at some of these signings, do we not have better options coming through than Filipo and the always injured Milner-Skudder? The tight five is very average aswell.
There’s plenty of talent in the top try scorers list year in year old they just never get a chance because we have to use recycled players.
