          No idea. Maybe Kata? Assuming the rumour is correct.. I don’t think we’d recruit him as a winger?

            I wouldn't think Auckland rugby would be dumb enough to recruit him as a centre. But then again it appears they're dumb enough to recruit him full stop so I should just return to my cave.

                @duluth its times like this you might find it useful

                the guy was a pretty damaging runner, but tackling and distributing were not strong points

                  He was my most disliked Warriors player before they decided to hire straight up thugs like Lodge.

                  He has an average passing game and his defence was poor and that's in league where he's standing on one side of the field. He'll be all at sea defending at centre.

                  Please select him there for the Magpies game.

                      Ok so he's not a centre.

                      He had some goodish moments on the wing for the Brumbies so I think he'll handle the step down to NPC. If the rumour is true..

                      Maybe that other league guy as a centre

                            @nepia yea Katas definitely signed with Auckland. Its the reason Grindlay left. With Tumua Manu, Faiane AND Tele'a not there he was told he was next in line but they changed there tune. He was none too happy so gapped it.

                              Auckland have been featuring players on their Instagram stories. Looks like the loose forwards will include Choat, Jones, Tuipulotu, and Vai.

                                      Former Reds hooker Albert Anae on the bench.

                                      Jamie Lane on the bench for both preseason games. Wonder who this season's locks will be?

                                      Scrafton
                                      Kalapu
                                      Lane
                                      Dalzell
                                      Beehre

                                      Maybe Tuipulotu covers lock? Wikipedia lists him at 195 cm (6 ft 5 in) and 115 kg.

                                        I forgot about Heem. Good choice

                                        That's a strong backline with RTS & Kata to be added. Also presumably Caleb Clarke will have a few matches

                                          @duluth Heem played quite a lot at 13 for Toulon. No sign of Manu Paea in preseason. He must be in the Half back group surely. I guess he is injured. Also no sign of the rumored Dan Hollinshead or Joe Tupe yet?
