@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).

@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

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.

whats with Donald Coleman being named at Hooker? Always seen him play at 7 for North Shore

[Tim]

@jk Maybe it's a mistake? He played 7 in the club final.

Must be. Only ever seen him play at 7

@stargazer Wish they would hurry up and release the squad.

Paul Cully via the Legend of Marty Banks Facebook page has Waisake Naholo and Henry Stowers both signed for Canterbury this NPC…Wellington could definitely do with Stowers.

[Canes4life]

@mikey07 especially considering he's from Wellington. Do we even have any good loose forwards for the NPC besides Kirifi? Ben-Nicholas and Fifita are heading off shore so I'm not too sure whether they will be apart of the campaign.

Anyone know when Counties will release their squad list? They've already finished their club season.

[Bovidae]

Most provincial club competitions have finished now. I assume the other NPC squads will be announced this week or next week. With not much going on for the next 2 weeks you would think that the provinces would be trying to maximise media coverage. Apparently not...

@canes4life Ories played Fidow at 8 on the weekend so he might be the go😂 can’t really see anybody in anybody’s line up that has shone.
