King Maxwell also on an ndc with the Blues -

He (Maxwell) is one of six players who earned a National Development Contract (NDC) with the Blues this season alongside last year’s Scholarship winner – Xavi Taele.Strange that the article doesn't name the other four NDC players. Have the Blues named them anywhere else?

Not announced, but we know Sam Hainsworth-Fa’aofo, Rico Simpson and Riley Williams are training with the squad. They may be ndc players? I also think I spotted Leo Gordon in some posts but not completely sure its him.

There are also two young front rowers at training as well as Ben Ake. The one in orange i think may be Maliu Nuiafe -
The other next to him I don't recognize, he looks a bit like Ake but it is not him as they appear together briefly in the same video screen shot below (Far left and far right).

Interesting. I would've gone with Papali'i
I guess it makes it easier to sub Dalton early and make more use of guys like Choat and Segner

I found this interesting from Vern Cotter in the decision of Tuipulotu over Papalii
Cotter said the decision to reinstate Tuipulotu was a case of it being the best man for the job.
“Because he’s very clearly the leader of this group and has been before.
