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).

“Because he’s very clearly the leader of this group and has been before. -

Both of those public statements together are a slap in the face for Dalts.
It could be a blessing in disguise for him. Just concentrate on playing and being the best 7 you can be and cement your place in the ABs xv
