      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.

      Hope that’s the case. Looks to have all the ingredients to be a top class no 8 in the next few years.

                @Steven-Harris Mark Tele'a gone before NPC? Luke Donaldson did start off at Canterbury then a season at BOP, and I believe tried to make the Auckland squad last year which probably explains the switch to Harbour.

                      He was a Shirley club player but is on the bench for Sydenham this week,
                      I think he played club rugby in the Taranaki last year.

                        @Chris was going to say I wonder if that indicates he might be returning to Canterbury but looks like he was already named in Taranki's confirmed squad for 2025.

                          Waikato Uni. Jayden has been playing for them this year. A lot of Taranaki players do if they are on scholarships or Chiefs NDC players.

                              I always assumed Bailyn would have come home first.

                              Out team of the last few years has been gutted so he's a great pick up for us.

                                Not surprised. The Blues have suggested they're interested in him as a midfielder but he wasn't likely to get meaningful time there for Auckland. Taele/Lam probably get first crack and I presume Tele'a is still with Auckland

                                His career is a bit of crossroads now. Zero interest from national selectors at fullback, hasn't performed at 10, maybe 12 is his spot?

                                  Will be interesting to see if he gets named in the Maori side tomorrow.

                                    Caught wind that Mitch Drummond may be on a move to Ta$man. As a result a Ta$man halfback could be heading to Canterbury which I’m hearing is Louis Chapman.

                                      That one All Blacks cap has really hindered Drummond's earning potential - he would've made some good bank in Japan. Good for NZ as a whole though.

                                        Nelson player going back to his home province. Canterbury player going back to his province. Nice stories all-round

                                          Southland have been slowly announcing their squad. No surprises or new additions yet, but the latest player is Scott Gregory, which had been mentioned as a possibility.
