    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.

      How about Narawa at 13?

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

          Reckon ENS could do well there, but maybe wait until 2027, very Mils like.

            @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.

                  He'll be at halfback.

                    Players that are definitely not coming back are alb and Aidan ross I hope we can create space for oli Mathis, we definitely need another quality winger the likes of mataele and Liam coombes fabling are too average

                          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.

                                      I'm not sure what ENS's contract situation is, but he would be the most likely to move to fullback. But there's still Narawa and Carter.

                                          @Tim Stevenson is off-contract and going back to the Kubota Spears AFAIK.
