Going by the number of players in the squads that were announced on 2 November, these squads already include the WTG players. They just don't explicitly indicate anymore who are the players on full contracts and who are in the WTG.
-
@Unco The WTG players were explicitly indicated in the squad guides that were published when the teams were named on 27 October 2015, including Donald. A few later changes were due to injury.
This is the Chiefs 2016 squad guide: http://files.allblacks.com/comms/2016_ISR/2016_ISR_Squad_Naming_Chiefs-F01.pdf

Really? Huh, I guess I mixed it up with something else. I'm guessing there's no 2017 squad guides yet?

Yes, they were - just like last year - published when the squads were announced. Admittedly, only the Crusaders and Highlanders included a link on their media release. I assume the media got them, but can't be sure about that.
-
Is it strange that Greg PT is named as a Prop for Highlanders? Is he returning to that position and dropping the hooker position or covering both?
-
@Northlandallday even the blurb on in there about the squad shows him as a prop but says "A breakout year for Greg Pleasants-Tate in 2016, followed up with strong form for Auckland in the Mitre Ten Cup and will do battle with Ash Dixon and Liam Coltman for game time in 2017"
-
@Northlandallday He is still there as a hooker, even confused me that they list as a prop ( although he is capable pf playing in all 3 positions across the front row). Training hard and looking forward to the season.
-
@baldsheep cheers, good to know. So many hookers with neck injuries through mitre 10 cup. Must have been a clerical error.
