Northland 2020
-
@Steven-Harris when I saw Gale a few weeks back, he looks to have shed alot of weight.
Be good if he can make the step up, is someone that gives his all for 80, and seems to brings alot to Kamo in terms of leadership and energy.
-
@taniwharugby yes , I have seen a recent FB pic of Gale, and he looks good ..when was the last time we had a really big ball carrying number 8..?.maybe Cam Goodhue
-
@Steven-Harris and even he wasnt that big.
10 is gonna be a big issue for us, either way we go, it will be a rookie running things, so we will need to take a punt, and back him.

@Steven-Harris said in Northland 2020:
Leuila was quite superb when he played for Auckland against Northland ..
His general play was terrible in the other matches he played though. Great goal kicker. He’ll be behind Sullivan as well next year, so very poachable
I assume Wiseguy has fallen away? A shame because he has plenty of talent
-
@Duluth Wiseguy is back in Auckland, staying with his parents at the minute, the good thing is he is working which can only be a good thing..he’s actually a classy footballer, just probably all happened a too early for him..hope he comes back in the future , he’s too talented not to...
-
Had it confirmed to me that Ponsonby and Auckland Dev First Five Johnny Cooper , son of former Northland winger Percy Cooper has been signed by the Taniwha for the 2020 season, however he will play through with Ponsonby until June until he completes his study ..
-
A good signing. He's an option at fullback too
-
@Duluth good that he’s able to carry on with his studies ,also heard through a source,don’t know how accurate this is, that Wiseguy Faiane has gone to Canterbury..?
-
@Steven-Harris if the rumoured off-field issues are true, a complete break into a new environment might see him realise his full potential.

Kalolo Tuiloma
He has signed with Utah Warriors for the 2020 MLR season.
-
@Stargazer yeah I had heard that, hopefully he turns up in reasonable shape ..
-
@Steven-Harris you would hope that all of the players doing a US gig should come back in decent shape...are these teams doing thier own things or sharing with other codes? If the latter, surely facilities for these guys would likely be superior to many of ours
-
@Steven-Harris 6 foot five for a tighthead prop? Looks an ideal candidate for a locking spot in the Hurricanes!
-
@Steven-Harris turns out he's a cousin of a good friend of mine, small world.
