@stargazer I remember him playing in Papamoa at primary level. Who poached who?
Papamoa is just weekend well-off Auckand these days so that settles it, he stays at the Blues. Which is the best place if any of you slinky banditos with sly fingers really cared about New Zealand rugby...

@chchfanatic Cool. Has Enari picked up a contract somewhere else?

'I always knew rugby was in my blood': New Zealand's teenage sprint prodigy gives update on rugby future
It has been little over a year since Edward Osei-Nketia last delved into the realm of rugby, but the 19-year-old sprint sensation has no intention of giving up his sevens dream.
That isn’t to say the speedster has lost his desire to try his hand at rugby, a sport he made a name for himself in while attending St Edmund’s College in Canberra, where he claims to have scored two to three tries per match. “I was in the smallest state of the whole of Australia,” Osei-Nketia laughed as he explained his try-scoring feats in the Australian capital. “I don’t know how I would have gone if I was in Queensland or New South Wales, but for my first six matches, I would have been averaging like two to three. “When it was later on in the season, I was pretty much just scoring in every match.” -

@chchfanatic someone who has played for the Canes before?

Looking at the 2021 Canterbury squad, there may be a chance that Debreczeni will replace Brett Cameron? And Jono Kitto the new scrumhalf instead of Enari?
No different HB

@chris Seeing your repost of my comments, I'm going to slap myself on the hand for typing "scrumhalf".
Edited to add that I think Jack Stratton is back in the country. Surely it's not him?
NO its not

I know... judging a guy from Stuff puff-pieces, but... just the general "vibe of the thing". -

Good choice, that would be a long time project and he may not stick with it.

My impression is that this guy would have no interest in passing, or learning to pass.
