    I haven't read the Rugby Almanack in years but there was an article about the five Promising Players of the Year that they named in the 2024 edition.

    The players were:
    Austin Anderson
    Tahlor Cahill
    Blair Murray
    Josh Taula
    Rohan Wingham

        Auckland have their first RS challenge since 2015 (subject to earlier results).

                Corey Evans has signed for Northland obviously heading home think that was rumoured early on

                    @Tim

                    @Steven-Harris did mention that Parker may be going back home at some stage. Oh well, a good opportunity for even younger Waikato no.8s like Malachi Wrampling and Te Rama Reuben to play more.

                      Parker is the kind of guy the Highlanders would pick up in the past and have him instantly starting, then he'd been an All Black within a year.

                      Hopefully he sticks with the Chiefs, they've shown a lot of faith in him through multiple years of injuries.

                        @Tim yeah I know Northland have been doing a bit of work with players like him and Evans as well as others from the region (playing elsewhere) to try and entice them back.

                        I think our HP facilities are starting to pay dividends.

                        Was chatting to a young fella I used to help coach who is in the HP set up (was in Blues U19s last year too) and he said they are training 4 times a week, so be interesting to see how he goes this year as it will be his 1st year of Senior rugby.

                                How much does it cost to bring a coach across from Australia...

                                  An interesting story in the Southland Tribune that Sevu Reece is considering playing for Southland this season. Would seem a stupid signing if he is just going to play for the All Blacks. On the flipside, it could mean he is likely to go overseas and Ta$man is letting him go, instead of Tavatavanawai, who has also been runoured to be joining Southland. The publication also talked ablut Byron Smith's first game in Southland club rugby.

                                      That is hilarious. Even though it is real it feels like a wind-up.

                                        Six games in four years for Ta$man. Tavatavanawai was also rumoured to be going to Southland. Wonder if this cleared some money for him to stay at Ta$man now.

                                          @SouthernMann Could also be that someone said a Fijian winger from Ta$man is signing for Southland and everyone just assumed Tavatavanawai?

                                          Ala Mark Telea signing for the Highlanders.
