The Harbour Hawks in Dunedin have announced several signings on Instagram. Players from all over the country and overseas. Can't imagine they will be cheap....

There are 9 teams in the Premiership comp in Northland (Wellsford through to Kerikeri) with Waipu removing themselves from the Premiership competition, so we end up with a bye week. Potentially strengthens some sides as many of their better players look to have moved to other Prem sides.

its interesting, ive been doing some recruitment for my club, there are social media groups where players and clubs can find each other...and there are a lot of people out there looking for gigs, even unpaid, we have guy thats played semi pro in france joining us, another that has a handfull of game for wasps and leister joining, at most we'll pick up their registration unofficially
Dunedin might be a less attractive destination than melbourne...but there is a talent pathway of people do thing they could play up a level
more specifically re their announcements...that font is unreadable...i cant tell you any of their names from the pictures

Looking like 15 teams in the Presidents grade in the Waikato. We have relaxed the age limit down to 30. Some are out of the lapsed Div 2 grade.
I didn't realise there was an age limit. What was it previously?
-
@antipodean Usually 35. Under 30's can play but can't score and need to play to the spirit of the grade. Some of the former Div 2 teams last year didn't always follow the spirit.

Top tier players they recruited.
A guy with super experience
Two Canterbury B players
A former Wellington club player of the year.
Plus some decent young players like Luca Fuller who will be apart of the Dunedin based Southland Acadamey.
The owner of Chipmunks used to dund Harbour a few years ago. Not sure who is funding it now.
Say some of these guys will be heading to Dunedin with the expectation of making Otago. Apart from Fuller.
And yeah the font is rubbish.

Ardmore Marist make promising start to season - Counties Sports Hub
Ardmore Marist triumphed 43-10 over the Manukau Rovers from Auckland in their first pre-season match of the season. It was an encouraging result for the Counties Manukau side after a win-less campaign in the McNamara Cup. McNamara Cup runners-up Karaka scored a convincing 79-19 win over Waikato...
