@Steven-Harris yeah I like how he plays, but was disappointing to see how out of shape he turned up last year especially after coming straight from the MLR finals to NPC...has Robb Cobb been re-signed, he was handy for us, although looking at our front row stocks, especially if we have signed Ryan?

Robb Cobb, I believe is over with his brother Joel in Sydney playing Shute Shield and won't be returning for NPC unless things have changed this week.

@Fredsaua12 yeah I didnt think we had re-signed him, given we have Apoua, Renata, Lay, Te Whata Colley, Fono, and Ryan now, plus a couple from the dev side I think are capable of stepping up.

It appears that a fit again Alex Harford will be back with Auckland this NPC.

He struggled in his one match last year. Hopefully he shows some form against the Lions
Should be behind Perofeta and probably Simpson in the pecking order

The Roar report that Reesjan Pasitoa is playing NPC but does not say for who? He is apparently without a Super contract. Could be a good pickup for the Highlanders.

@Daffy-Jaffy Pasitoa has been signed by Northland along with Tom Hoopers younger brother Lachlan who played for the Wallabies U20 back in 2023
Both are looking to secure contracts with NZ super teams -

Both are looking to secure contracts with NZ super teamsWithout sounding harsh on Pasitoa, if he hasn't been able to nail down a spot at the Force in 4 seasons there, why would an NZ team give him a contract?

Injuries haven't helped. Had a really good season (some premature calls to get him into the Wallabies) and was looking to build on it a few years back but then had to spent a whole year sidelined.
Still don't think he'll make an NZ team, but with a bit of luck could've certainly been a regular starter for an Australian team by now.

Probably not what they’re built for but would be a handy Moana pick up

Northland head coach Ryan Marin picks up his 3rd MLR title in a row
Rivez Reihana has mentioned to a few people that Martin is the best coach in terms of attack planning he has had in his career and has helped him improve his own game -

The guy came through as OBHS first XV, Otago Assistant and had to move away to get ahead. We seem to produce some really decent coaches in Dunedin. Yet the decision makers constantly make the incorrect call. Jamie Mackintosh is another example. John Leslie never got a chance either. Seilala Mapusua the same.

@SouthernMann he’s been likened to Wayne Smith just watched his post match interview says heaps about culture and belief he’s able to empower on teams
I doubt wether he will be at the Taniwha for long can see Martin ending up at a Super franchise sooner rather than laterOne of his quotes from this mornings post match interview
“We recruit for character and train for skill “
