@Stargazer Moody? I thought he was out for the year.
Still a very strong squad after removing current ABs (and those that may yet be selected)
-
@Crucial Contracted players are usually named in the squad, even if they're ruled out for the season due to injury or ABs. The Magpies had the same last year with Fakatava and Walker-Leawere injured, and Retallick and Weber in the ABs.
Edited to add that there may be an extra player named in the squad as injury replacement.

Probably will be for Dunshea who may not play the NPC.

Why would you put light towers in those positions blocking the view?
Those are the existing light towers.

@Chris I see manawatu vs Canterbury is the opening game, that fixture holds a lot of meaning to me as I remember back in 2008 being at Jade when either Cruden or Matty James nailed the winning kick to pull off a spectacular upset, young me was taken aback by how much 1 singular win could mean so much!
-
No Stewart Cruden in the Manawatu squad.
He's in the Evergreens' squad. As a midfielder. So gone from senior squad to development squad, and playing in a different position.
Raymond Tuputupu is also not in the Evergreens. So either he's moved provinces, or he's injured.
Edited to add that several provinces are making announcements about U19 teams or games. In the Hurricanes region, there are the usual seedings games planned that we always had when there was an Jock Hobbs Memorial National U19 Tournment. Maybe the Jock Hobbs Tournament is making a return in 2022?
Anyway, is Ray Tuputupu still young enough for an Under 19 team?

Question to the Wellingtonians here:
Is the Wellington Centurions squad the development squad of the Lions?Question to the Ta$man supporters or others in the know:
What is the status of the Nelson Bay Griffins and Marlborough Red Devils squads? Are they just sub-union teams? And what kind of competition do they play in? -
From the article about the Taranaki squad:
The Yarrows Taranaki Bulls start their campaign with two preseason games against BOP, Waikato and Wellington, before the season opener at the iconic Pukekura Park on the 7th of August vs Northland.
Pre-Season Fixtures
vs BOP | 23rd July 12 PM | Te Awamutu
vs Wellington | 30th July 2 PM | Waverly
Maybe the Chiefs Country Centurion Cup is in TA, not Te Kuiti.
