NPC 2024

There is a full page preview from Aaron Goile (Stuff) today. Maybe it's not on their digital platform yet.
Wellington are the TAB favourites ($3.50) followed by Auckland and Canterbury ($4 each).

Was meant to reply to a discussion I was having with a poster the other day in this thread and forgot. I have a mate who works for one of the big radio stations as a producer (music not sport), up until last year they would receive media packs in the lead up to the NPC but they don't receive them anymore.

Not sure if you Hawkes Bay blokes saw the news but Tyrone Thompson will be playing for HB this year.

im a fan of whomever has taken over the Otago socials

October 6th it is, 20 years later to take it back off Auckland again

i just cant help thinking they could have organised things a little better and launched the NPC season the weekend just gone....when there isn't an AB's game on
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.

Wish NPC started a fortnight after Super. Then TRC squad could reward current form.

@Duluth I'm hoping HB beat Northland and then lose it to Ta$man because then Wellington will get first crack at Ta$man.

@Canes4life it's best if Ta$man never win it...

I'd back the Lions to take it off them.

Sorry mate, I want HB to hang onto shield until the Naki gets the challenge. I haven't looked what happens if others win it, I like to keep things simple.

Good to see there's a few paths where Auckland can get a challenge.
No Shield game since 2015.. that has to be a record? At least in the NPC era for a non heartland side
And Auckland's last challenge before that was 2010.
1 shield challenge in 13 years, that's impressive.

If Christian Leali’ifano turning out for Auckland last weekend came as a bolt from the blue for onlookers, the man himself was equally stunned, on the back of a presidents grade game in Hamilton alongside Lima Sopoaga and Jack Lam.
