    Bit slack on my end but after chatting with a contact about the Stevenson situation a couple days ago, I was told there are a few more in similar situations that are seriously considering moving on early.

    Not exactly ground breaking I know as there are players that happen to move on every year. The concerning part is it’s beginning to become more common that they are ones that are close to AB contention or young ABs.

    Thought it was worth a share. Will continued to fire it in as I hear more.

    It's so hard to get a look in these days especially with guys there who never get dropped due to their contracts. Apart from Mo'unga, Fai'anganuku and Frizzell who are all coming back from overseas and not just to play SR, who else is likely to break into this ABs side from now to the next WC? Chay Fihaki is one. Anyone else/.

        Read that out of context. Thought you were suggesting he was joining the Exodus.

          No sorry. Just the effort from Razor to get him involved with the AB squad as with Fihaki.

                        Smiler-Ah Kiong has been on the fringes of the Waikato squad in the past few seasons without ever making the main NPC squad. Played in Portugal in the off-season in 2023 as the TA Sports coach took a few of their players there. I didn't realise he was loaned to KC this year until the Sky Fans Try of the Year was announced.

                        Speaking of former Waikato players, I see that Tana Tuhakaraina is now with the Urayasu D-Rocks in Japan. That explains why he wasn't involved in the NPC.

                            He should have come home in place of a couple of our poor imports this year.

                                  @mikedogz That's disappointing about Nordstrom as I was hoping he would get a chance with Waikato next year. TA Sports will be gutted again.

                                          It is the rule that has more exceptions than the rule...

                                          However, "neighbors" isn't a good example of how to spell correctly (unless you consider American a language...)
