Sunwolves' signings for the 2019 season:
Dan Pryor
Craig Millar
Hencus van Wyk
Jason Emery
Michael LittleSurely this hybrid team of everyone else’s off-casts could be based somewhere closer to the rest of the teams to cut down on travel fatigue?

Damm 8 min in 4 seasons! Suppose it's an easy paycheck if he is in the team the entire time, but feel bad for him.
-
@darren-nicholson Hopefully he can kick on for the Canes, we will be desperate for him to perform this year and can't afford to have him sitting on the sidelines again.
-
@darren-nicholson How is it an easy paycheck if you're going from injury to injury and are rehabbing all the time? He's an incredible hard worker. I can't find the article, but the coaches said explicitly in an interview last year, how much he impressed them with his positive attitude and workrate, training on his own day in, day out, while the rest of the team was training together.
-
I'm hopeful for big things from Walker-Leawere and if Lousi can can back into form we should be ok for lock.
-
Yeah he deserves a good run and looks like a tremendous athlete. The Canes locks might lack experience but they are big and mobile which will suit our style of footy.
-
@darren-nicholson Yeah that man of the match performance by Walker-Leawere for the Maoris was very impressive. If Liam Mitchell can bulk up then he could be a good prospect aswell.
Props are our biggest weakness by far.

Fuck.
Can we play them at home home please? Why give up that huge advantage against that team?
As a Chiefs season ticketholder this sucks. The NZ derbies are the biggest crowds so how about rewarding those of us who go to the games?

It does suck.
Having bought my season ticket for next year a few weeks back, I’d be pretty pissed off if this was announced subsequently
