Of happiness I hope

[Grooter]

@Yeetyaah best playing days are obviously behind him but I must say Bridgey & Tim Bateman probably left the best impression on me when i got to meet a few of the Crusaders boys a few yrs back

According to French media, the Chiefs showed interest in Bridge, but he prefers to go overseas.

Not exactly one of the highest profile players. I had to google him to see if it was who I thought it was. A bit part player at lock for the Chiefs for about 7 years and indeed it is him.

@Stargazer Wonder what New Zealand international means and did he actually play any games, let alone start, for the Hurricanes?

[ARHS]

@Higgins He played very well for them and for BOP.

He started a few games for the Canes when Perenara was in Japan. Didn’t let the jersey down at all.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins He played 12 games for the Hurricanes, of which 9 starts, in 2021. International can only refer to the NZ U20s (2015).

[Higgins]

@Stargazer There you go then, shows just how much I care or take notice of the Hurricanes now! Incidentally I have got a leave pass to go over to Park Island for the Under 18 game against the Wgtn Samoans so will give you a bit of a report on how things wen sometime after. Means I will miss the first half of The Bay's match against BoP though!

@Stargazer

Awful photoshop job

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah That graphic says for the 2022-23 season. Wiki tells me the season starts in Dec 2022 and ends in May 2023. That would mean Trask won't be playing for the Chiefs next year.
