    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

                    Who is that?

                    Dolt, figured this one out eventually.

                      @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.

                              Heem will fill 13 for this season, it looks like.

                                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?

                                      Hollinshead has been playing for New York within the last month. Google says NY lost a conference final in the weekend. Not sure if he was involved

                                      If the rumour is true then he might be in isolation now? Assuming he had a voucher ages ago..
