Why don't all the sides do this??
Waikato manager told me "other teams would also like to know that information" when I asked why they don't give injury updates.
What a crap attitude. Then they complain that no one comes to their bloody games. Treat your fans with respect, and they'll do it back. Teams are listed days in advance anyway.

@SouthernMann this was last year, Waikato used to only give their team lists the day before a game. It did piss me off though, not a huge thing but helps with fan engagement.

@Canes4life said in NPC 2024:

Yes, a surprise. Darry probably could have been released too.

Arguably Jordan aswell as he needs more minutes under his belt.

would have been great for Ofa to play on Sunday

So, right now - according to me:
Canterbury need a bonus point to push Otago out of the eight. (Unless you're from Canterbury, I can't see this being a good thing).
The other seven places are assured.Wellington, Ta$man and Taranaki assured of hosting home semi-finals. I think BoP currently needs a bonus point v auckland to be absolutely assured of hosting a semi. I can't find the tie-breaker if they, Hawkes Bay and Waikato were all to end up on 33 points.
@Bovidae ?

@Chris-B I was just having a quick look at the updated table. A 3-way tie-breaker is a little more complicated.
-
@Bovidae I think it would have to be points differential, because they haven't all played one another (I think?) - but, who knows. I can't even find the page right now!
-
@Chris-B Waikato are above CM as it's "who beat who" between two teams. Canterbury will end up 6th.
