I thought Alex Hodgman signed for Counties?
@African-Monkey Yes, I thought so, too, but that was only reported in the media. I haven't seen any announcement from Counties though.

TJ Vaega - poached out of the Auckland colts! I'll be very interested to watch him this year.

I think poaching is a bit strong, I think the Magpies recruiting this year has been close our eyes and throw a dart at a bunch of names. Clearly, the fact we're bringing in an Aussie lock has meant we threw a dart at the Crusaders recruiting list by accident as well.

Maybe the two brothers came as a package. Their dad played for the Magpies, too, in 1991. Next year, they'll want Matt, too, and then we have our own trio of brothers. :rolling_eyes: :man_facepalming_tone3:

That Sydney North's jersey looks suspiciously like a Canterbury jersey.

Good move by NH recruiting some experienced guys.
Are you confident they are going to stay up? What would your XV be?

@Tim said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc:
@Duluth Am travelling today, will post a team tonight!
I'll make an attempt..
I'm going to assume that the new recruits have been signed for a reason and will be in the starting XV.
Except Volavola. He is shit.

@Stockcar86 They could also achieve that by signing Jacob Lowe (if he's still playing for Clive). I think he's played age grade for the Bay (not sure)?
