@Steven-Harris Ha, I'd love them to be basded in Hawke's Bay. No love from the Canes and large representation in MP squad. Would get a lot of support from our community.

I’ve only been to Northland once - it was fucking winter and it was cold and wet.

Heard who the coach(s) might be next year. If true would be massive for the club.
Might get some good/established players wanting to play there.

Jamie Joseph ?

I really hope it's Tai Lavea, he can develop strong team culture & he knows how to get the very best out of Pacific Island players. Most qualified man for the job IMO.

@kiwi_expat I'll try n get something a bit more concrete. At the moment just speculation but the sauce is strong!
