@Nogusta Yeah, probably.

How many of the players you listed were from outside of Auckland anyway? Without knowing all their details Nanai Seturo, Nock, Reihana and P Parkinson are.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae Williams from up this way too

[Nogusta]

@Bovidae Nani Seturo is from Auckland (Otara). From outside of Auckland - the Parkinsons, Enari (Tu Toa); Nock, Reihana, Williams (Northland), Christie (Counties), Cirkidaveta (Gizzyborne). The rest from Auckland?

Well if they are used to being purchased for titles then they are likely to end up together at Ta$man and the Saders surely?

@Crucial

At least it means he’ll stop pimping out his alumni to the NRL

Former Canterbury and Crusader Nathan Mauger I believe is one of the applicants for the vacant Northland head coach role..
Can’t say I know to much about his coaching record ..I know he was an assistant at Canterbury..can anybody fill in the gaps..?

Reuben Thorne and Mark Brown have been appointed co-coaches to lead the Canterbury Mitre 10 Cup side from 2020.

@Stargazer

Maddock left the Canterbury job after the Mitre 10 Cup, where his side lost to Wellington in the semifinals this year, to work as an assistant under former Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder at Japanese club Toshiba Brave Lupus.

Seems fitting given their similar results with those squads.

I recall a couple of Christchurch based TSFers were very negative about Thorne's coaching ability

[mikey07]

@Duluth goes hand in hand with his international playing ability 😜
