      Might be Blues related? Eklund & Vikena the top two. The 3rd hooker won't get much game time but needs to be relatively experienced and reliable (so not Riccitelli)

      Depends if a SR contract is more attractive than that US based coaching gig

                  @Tim Huh? Okay, stranger things have happened in club rugby. It's not his preferred prosition, but he has the speed.

                                Some very odd happenings going in Auckland club rugby .
                                Vaolini Ekuasi transfered mid season to East Tamaki
                                Andrew Kavienga transfered from Eden to Manukau
                                Thomas Strachan who played in the Northland club final 2 weeks ago for Waipu started at halfback for Grammar Tech yesterday as did Tovo Faleafa at number 8 who played the entire club season for Old Boys Marist in Whangarei ..
                                And the Nico Costa transfering to Manukau Rovers makes no sense ..

                                  @Steven-Harris must be some serious loopholes in the regulations if these very late transfers are allowed to take part in playoff matches.

                                      Unsure why Ekuasi made the switch. He went from a contender to a mid table team with no shot at the title.

                                      Was Kavienga registered to Eden? He hasn't played any games for Eden this year.

                                      Who did Costa play for before the Rovers? Normally he's with Eden, but he hasn't played any games for Eden this year either.

                                        @Dice I was wondering if Costa was playing in America? None of the Costa brothers have played for Eden this year.

                                          Was Kavienga registered to Eden? He hasn't played any games for Eden this year.

                                          Who did Costa play for before the Rovers? Normally he's with Eden, but he hasn't played any games for Eden this year either.

                                          @Dice There seems to have been a mass exodus from the strong Eden team of the previous few seasons. There are few names I recognize from last season and they finished second last in the round robin this season.
