    Counties have changed to Canterbury and looks like Wellington has left going by their prices.

    @stargazer I initially only looked at the picture and thought Hammington had signed for Waikato and was confused as to why Otago would be advertising it…

    @gunner well we know Waikato don't do social media engagement, so it wouldn't be them posting

    @Yeetyaah @oleoleole

    Last year's Waikato Development team had a lot of U19/20 players in it because there was no Jock Hobbs tournament.

    I did see some photos of Waikato players at the Fieldays. All familiar faces from 2020.

    @mikey07 The Turbos have been very actively signing returnees, older players, or fringe players from other provinces, but still reasonably good. They're definitely building a team that should be more competitive than last year's squad.

    Likely Peter Russell's influence - from memory, he has a history of recruiting well

    @bovidae UMS have Tana Tuhakaraina and Alex Thrupp invoved, Marist have Mason Tupaea, Kini Fonua, Quinnlan Tupou, Vern Sosefo, Quade Tapsell and Sam Pou involved....thats about all i've been able to find so far. I expect Hautapu and Fraser Tech will supply a fair few players.

    Mason is Quinn's younger brother and is a LH prop. He was in the NZ Schools last year and the Chiefs U20s this year. One for the future. Fonua is a lock from Rotorua BHS and has been in Chiefs age-group teams. Tupou a midfielder, also involved in the NZ Schools setup. Tapsell a loose forward who is a few years older than the other players mentioned. Sosefo also a lock, but I'm not familiar with him. Quinn Collard not listed as one of the Marist players.

    I would expect Havila Molia to be one of those Fraser Tech players. He was also NZS last year and Chiefs U20s this season. He is probably ready now to be part of the Waikato squad as the 3rd TH prop. Also Te Paea Cook-Savage (utility back).

    Others who could be involved are:
    Hakaria Richards-Coxhead (TH prop, Melville)
    Matt Dobbyn (hooker, Melville)
    Te Rama Reuben (No.8, Varsity)
    Ben Strang (halfback)
    Latrell Smiler-Ah Kiong (1st 5/fullback, TA Sports)
