@taniwharugby Plenty of players are combining MLR and NPC. The scheduling of both competitions allows that, fortunatley. So players signing for MLR clubs isn't really a worry for the NPC; only - in some cases - for the SRP depth as franchises will have to dig deeper when injury strikes.

@Stargazer i knew he was off to MLR, but interesting that says former Northland lock, my understanding was he had re-signed, maybe it didn't workout :man_shrugging: shame if he isn't back, he is a very good npc player.

@taniwharugby Maybe he has? A lot of NPC players come back in the MLR off season.

@taniwharugby I agree with @African-Monkey. I wouldn't read to much in the wording they use.

He definitely doesn’t look like a rugby prop anymore. All the best too him, I’m sure he will go well in league.

I don't remember him, but prop Sam Davies has signed with Rugby New York.
@Stargazer He's pretty young, only 20. This was his first year of NPC.
