      @Yeetyaah There are a couple of players I can't easily identify in that photo.

      Of the players I listed the following would be likely NDC players:
      Cody Nordstrom (winger/fullback)
      Taine Kolosi (hooker)
      Jadin Kingi (lock/6)
      Jole Naufahu (winger/fullback)
      Toby Taylor (prop)

      Te Rama Reuben and Kauvaka Kaivelata are only 20.

            Daniel Rona was the player I couldn't identify (seated below Simon Parker).

            Fiti Sa is a poach from Canterbury. He's the other player in that original photo (between Tukuafu and Burr).

                Awesome update.

                I presume Patrick McCurran has a gig somewhere else?

                  McCurran is a physiotherapist so maybe the "real job" is his main income. I assume that some players are approached to be in the WTG but decline based on their personal circumstances.

                  The Chiefs All Black XV players are back too, in the gym.

                    I don't think they ever not back in gym, even when not training with teams, think they still keep up a level of fitness.

                              An updated article about Solomon Alaimalo. He had other offers but chose the Chiefs.

                              Also of note:

                              McMillan said their All Blacks were due back on January 24. The All Blacks XV players return on January 9.

                                      Hahaha why y'all acting weird? I just welcomed him back and he said "appreciate you brother." I've always been a huge fan and was gutted when he left.

                                        @Yeetyaah lol sliding into his DMs, trying to catfish him? Perhaps trying to convince him you were that well known chiefs legend Numi Tepulolo?

                                        Superfan for sure!
