      When it was decided that Trask should go to Japan it was announced he had signed a 2-yr contract with the Chiefs for 2024-25. He had a problematic groin injury this year.

          I see they list Lay as unavailable because of injury

          Good to see Kalapu still in NZ rugby

          Not a fan of selections like Edmed. Koller looked very good last year.. I hope he starts most of the games

            Cantebury squad announcement. As expected, an extremely solid squad with plenty of depth. Still got some guys named that are long in the tooth but not doubt valuable at this level.

            Cant help but think what talent they are blocking from coming through though. Is Willie Heinz really necessary?! The guy turns 38 later this year….

              Also I know it was announced earlier in the year that Afeaki was the new Head coach. However what does that mean for Halangahu? I keep expecting to see him named in an Aussie job

                James White and Rameka Poihipi to share 10 duties?

                Good for Poihipi's ongoing development.

                    Yeah I agree Hienz,Crotty need to move on so they can develop the next tier of players.
                    Nick Shearer could also cover First five has played a bit there for Christ college.

                          @Chris I wouldn’t be surprised if Phil Burliegh gets a tap on the shoulder to fill a spot here and there if needed at 10. After all, they aren’t afraid to keep an older guy around haha

                              @Chris has been playing for New Brighton the back half of this season at 10. Wasn’t aware he was still signed on in Japan, in saying that so is Billy Harmon and he’s named. Who knows, we will find out soon either way.

                                        There are at least a couple of preseason games tomorrow.

                                        452676720_1009994427796402_4913761549624139168_n.jpg

                                        Lord playing. Probably close to their first-choice backline.

                                          Two Ponsonby boys, Tuipulotu and Peni with Southland for preseason v Otago. I might have to be a secret Stags supporter this NPC - Although I would prefer them to play in our Club Gallaher Shield Final this weekend!
