Harbour NPC squad:

Unfortunately no GCT, and Ethan Roots is playing in Wales. Dillon Hunt still injured. Surprised that Lemeki Namoa isn't in the squad.

@tim Has Rhys Marshall been playing club rugby in NH?

[Daffy Jaffy]

@tim Strange about Lemeki Namoa, not listed as injured so maybe lured away elsewhere. Back to Auckland maybe? That's a strong front row group. I rate Fatongia Pea from my local Pakuranga club. I see Suafua back north after trying to crack the Ta$man team for a couple of seasons. Also interesting to see the former Taranaki rake Rhys Marshall back from Munster? Seems to have been away forever but is still only 28. Could be a sound squad pick up for a super team.

[Daffy Jaffy]

@bovidae With Munster since 2016.

[Tim]

@bovidae Suspect the red blocks are for outside players. Henry Taefu was with the Force this year.

Haven't seen Marshall's name on any team sheets.

[African Monkey]

@tim Taefu is a fairly tidy player. He does a decent job for the Samoan side.

[Bovidae]

Yeah, I knew Marshall was at Munster. He played against the Maori back in 2016. Decent around the field for the Chiefs but a terrible lineout thrower. It will be interesting to see if he has improved.

@tim Sad to see Hunt still out. That will be a whole year away from the game.

How bad was his injury? He was hitting some great form before leaving the landers, sad to see him all but disappear

[Daffy Jaffy]

@kiwiwomble It was concussion issues which is a worry. I hope he's not forced to retire.

Who's the player wearing no. 4 in the second photo?
I also see that Richard Judd will be playing for Wellington (5th photo).

[Tim]

@stargazer Taine Plumtree?

[Stargazer]

@tim Yes, I think you're right!

TP is written on his jersey.

@stargazer Judd is a great pickup for Wellington now that TJ is in the A.Bs
