@Hooroo said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc: @Duluth I know I keep banging on about this but we would have had 3 or 4 AB tests by now in normal times? I haven't missed them this year. I will miss the Ab's leaving the NPC though and it turning back into the dross we have experienced for the past couple of decades Completely and utterly agree. We'll both be branded as broken records, but who cares.

@Bovidae Yep, he played for the Raiders U20 squad that won the 2020 Canberra Regional Rugby League Cup, last week. Although he didn't play in the Final, he played most games (so maybe injured?). The article also confirms what I've said for more than a year: that he changed to league because he was being overlooked in rugby. And that's a real loss.
