    Ahio was signed until 2026. I think I posted the details at the time.

      With alb leaving we need a quality center, ens should replace Stevenson at fullback

        @cliff I can't see any issue with Rona - seems to be rather underrated (at least in media circles). Rarely puts a foot wrong and does a lot right (while being shuffled around the backline).

          Rona is perfectly fine. Poihipi should be back, Wrampling can play 12 or 13, so there are options. I would prefer more depth on the wing, especially if ENS moves to fullback.

              Why? The issue is back 3. Plenty of midfield options

                  @Bones ENS was a centre at St Kents. I think he can be more dangerous at fullback with the extra space.

                    Ok I'll figure out what fullback is similar to Leon and we can move him instead.

                      DMac is a bit like Cully, why not move him to centre.

                                Not for a while - again.

                                He was playing for Fraser Tech today on his return from his knee injury but only lasted about 10 mins before pulling a hamstring. He made a few good runs in that time, including when he did the hammy.

                                The bye will come at a good time for Rona's HIA too.

                                      @Bovidae incredible news. Honestly I was worried he'd go home to the Blues considering he's from AKL and was their u20s captain. Fucking stoked.

                                          @Daffy-Jaffy surely he is being promised a starting spot. Wonder what their back three will.look like to have him slot in there.
