@taniwharugby 
 David's father was a tall and a very handy lock/loose forward for Hora Hora and Mid Northern. Perhaps the height genes have skipped a generation?

@taniwharugby @Trig Lisati is heading to Stade Montois (Mont de Marsden ) in the French Pro D2 on a 2 year deal and that is before the NPC , Josh Renton was signed as a back up to Sam Nock 
 Marley Murphy likely to be carried as the 3rd halfback

@Steven-Harris is it former Otago player Josh Renton who has signed , or Jay Renton the Southland halfback? Or both

@Kiwidom apologies it is Josh

Canterbury halfback shake up will be interesting. Hearing there is some movement with Nic Shearer off to a different region and a swap occurring between 9s from provinces. Interesting that Riley Williams is still playing club rugby in Auckland also

@Fredsaua12 Williams didn’t play for Waitemata today

@Fredsaua12 What's happening with their 10 situation?

Now this is one of these rumours where the contact is not 100% sure that the destination is corect but maybe someone down in the Bay can fish around 
 Miracle Fai’ilagi heading to Hawkes Bay for the Npc

Northland have bought on board former Canterbury assistant coach Blair Baxter as an assistant to Ryan Martin ,Baxter was with Matatu last year and was with Canterbury Npc previously

I see he played last Sat as Hamilton OB had a bye last round. Maybe Micah Fale had a quiet word. Waikato won't be short of loose forward options, so I doubt it was anything more than getting a game. I went to watch TK Howden play for Melville in a club game a few years back but it was just a favour to the coach.

Looks to have all the ingredients to be a top class no 8 in the next few years.

@SouthernMann i dont think so ,Lachlan just looking for an opportunity to develop his game possibly a Super opportunity

@MacDazzler said in NPC 2025: @Fredsaua12 What's happening with their 10 situation? I believe James White is signed long term. Shun Miyake is still playing club rugby in Chch and will be close to another contract. Caleb Makene also is another option but I expect them to look outside the region and pick up an experienced 10 as they have done in the past. Also on a side note, Max Hughes has also returned from Japan and has been Turing out for Sydenham in the 10 jersey, although he is primarily a 9
