        Reading an article by Paul Cully, who says that NH originally tried to sign Lucas Cashmore. Edmed was later signed.

          @Bovidae I'd heard Edmed was being signed a few months back.

            What else does he say in it? I saw the headline but it's paywalled.

            I guess the gist is lots of NPC teams are bringing in foreigners (so it's not just the my beloved Pies being stupid this year).

              @Nepia whispers are, change is on the horizon so teams are looking to go higher up the table...luckily NZR has history of bailing those out whenever they need it.

                  Auckland have absolutely no reason to be dipping into the Australian market for players to be play for them. It’s disappointing for any province to do it, but Auckland should be the last to be.

                    Had the North Harbour social media manager have a tiff at me after I said Edmed isn't a good signing for the grassroots

                      And with the 'new improved' NZR set up, bailouts for overspending will continue

                                    The organisation of this season seems weird. We've just had a huge gap with no rugby, all I've had to watch was the Warriors returning to type, and now we have the RC and NPC starting at the same time.

                                          Does anyone know whether the NPC is being broadcast in Australia or the UK?

                                          Doesn't appear to be on Stan or Sky and no mention of it on NZR+ as far as I can see.
