I now invoke my ancestral founding membership of the great Eden Rugby club. They will start their one hundredth year next season as first time Gallaher shield champs. well done them. I thought the Rutherford brothers were outstanding and looked NPC worthy players especially the lock Cameron who was the best forward on the field for mine. HB Costa, Prop Fricconet and hooker Hill were also excellent (both appeared briefly for Auckland a few seasons back). Best for GT i thought was wing Tangitau, super dangerous and blindside Fotofili who made some great tackles.

Ex-Westlake GTEC wing Caleb Tangitau is dangerous.
He looked pretty awesome for Westlake at fullback.

Only turned 18 this year, and made NZ SS team last year. One to watch.

@booboo will be stoked.
Am indeed. Just got a Messenger message from our old team manager telling me the news.
It sure beats battling to avoid the wooden spoon
(which thankfully we never managed ... but got damn close).They've become quite the powerhouse in the last few years.

Full replay of the club final.
Every time Commentator Steven Bates called a player by their first name, which he did often, I thought maybe they are in his NPC squad. But then I guess he would know a few from age grade and development teams.

I am eager to see whether promising youngsters like Evans, Grindlay, Beehre, Kneepkens, Maka and Paea will be among the players selected for the M10 squad. And Vikena, of course. They were outstanding during the SRA U20 earlier this year.

@cgrant Apparently Grindlay has returned home to play for Taranaki

With no TJ this season, who captains?
I'd probably go with Choat. Not many other options, unless Gibson is still with us, but I wouldn't select him as captain.

Choat was captain at least once last year
I would go for Choat as well. Maybe Plummer is an option too
