That's a decent amount of firepower

What's Blyde/Brake up to post league season (she's dead to me)?

A team without both her ans Portia reduces the speed and strike power significantly.

Their ability to score from distance with half a gap was a distinct advantage.

Do we have any younger speedsters?

[Yeetyaah]

Honestly a bit disappointing none of them were required to play Aupiki, that much talent would do wonders for the comp.

No Hirini. Risi Pouri-Lane could have the most impact at halfback.

[Wurzel]

Where does Jorja Miller play in XVs?

[Bovidae]

A no.7.

[Wurzel]

Well that's Hirini's replacement sorted
