@duluth said in Auckland 2018:
What's the point of signing Evan Olmstead? Lots of local talent in his position.
Not sure about the selection of Umaga either. He is currently contracted to Wasps and is just getting game time before the start of the UK season
Good to see Seu named. I assumed he was injured. His versatility gives Auckland a lot more options in the 23.
So I googled.
Canadian. Hmmm.
Like the idea we're helping a tier two nation but as you say plenty locks gi g around.
And frankly I'd rather see NZers given a chance to develop.
Mind you that Canuck who played for the Chiefs was alright.
-
@booboo Recently reading a Falcons fan forum, they were gutted he was leaving Newcastle, calling him 'outstanding' and a 'quality operator'. They seemed to think they let him go because of the club not being happy with his time away with Canada. Here is vid of him playing.
-
I just registered there is no Vince Aso on the list. I know he is injured but other injured players are named. Maybe he is off contract and moving on?
-
@daffy-jaffy Totally forgot about him. I think he signed for two more years with the Hurricanes and Auckland during the Super Rugby season.
-
Here it is, signed through 2020:
Vince Aso re-signs with Hurricanes
The New Zealand Herald have reported that young Hurricanes midfielder Vince Aso has re-signed with the Super Rugby franchise through 2020.
Must be injured.

@duluth Talk about Sherlock Holmes on the case..that’s how you do it my dear Watson..nice work..!
Right out of my own play book..!,amazing what you can pick up on Twitter or FB accounts..! -
Definitely signed for Blues next year, M10 contracts alone don’t pay enough to leave European contracts. Caution though, Ardron really struggled in M10 last year, may have needed the 6months before Super season to adjust to the fitness & speed levels required here.

@tim said in Auckland 2018:
Matt Storm and Lemeki Namoa are another couple from the Blues U20 side that didn't make it. Think that Matt Storm is injured though.
Lemeki is most probably with the U19s for the JH Memorial tourney. Haven't heard anything re Matt Storm. Gee hopefully he hasn't had recurring problems with his knee.

20 Pele Cowley (Suburbs)
21 D'Angelo Leuila (Papatoetoe)
22 TJ Vaega (Grammar TEC)Interesting to see Renata is fit but not selected for the A's. Is he coming back from an injury?
No Caleb Clarke is he injured again?
I'm surprised that Leuila is so far down the rankings given Ieremia picked him to start Tests matches not that long ago.
