    Maybe he is not actually found as needed to be released, he's just a stop gap?

        Maybe he is not actually found seen as needed to be released, as he's just a stop gap replacement? As in, he's not officially in the squad, so just goes home where he belongs.

        Or he's injured

          Tuipulotu is in the RC squad

          Dickson is not in the squad but was added as extra cover. Dickson is listed as one of the players released

                                Even the Hawke's Bay fans should have some sympathy for Manawatū.

                                Auckland, though, have unlimited spending power, 46 players in their NPC squad and a huge academy. Hawke's Bay have 44 fully-contracted Magpies.

                                Manawatū coach Peter Russell could afford only 28 this season on his ultra-tight budget, down from 31 last year, and one of them is All Black Aaron Smith. In 2019 there were 35 on the books.

                                Other points from the article is that Tyler Laubscher has a chronic groin problem, and John Plumtree is now helping Russell and co. Oh, and Fletcher Building are a bunch of piston wristed gibbons.

                                  @Bovidae

                                  Frontline loosehead Harrison Allan copped a crazy three-week suspension after one of those accidental head collisions in the opening seconds of the first match against Canterbury.

                                  While he wasn't cited at the game, some eagle-eyed NZ Rugby citing official zapped him.

                                  That's new to me. Why can't NZR just publish these judicial decisions?

                                    Not this one! Having said that I have a lot of respect for Peter Russell despite his current coaching appointment.

                                      Auckland, though, have unlimited spending power, 46 players in their NPC squad and a huge academy. Hawke's Bay have 44 fully-contracted Magpies.

                                      Manawatū coach Peter Russell could afford only 28 this season on his ultra-tight budget, down from 31 last year, and one of them is All Black Aaron Smith. In 2019 there were 35 on the books.

                                      Other points from the article is that Tyler Laubscher has a chronic groin problem, and John Plumtree is now helping Russell and co. Oh, and Fletcher Building are a bunch of piston wristed gibbons.

                                      Nope. The Bay money men have managed the books successfully for a longtime now and clearly manage the player budget well (I'm pretty sure Tiatia is paid in donated pies).

                                      Although we could do them a solid and lend them Tiatia for the season.

                                          @SBW1 This is what that article says:

                                          Ngani Laumape continues to train with the Turbos and while he would like to wear black again, and to do so would have to play for Manawatū, he will be joining Panasonic in Japan.
