NPC - news, injuries etc

Stargazer

The Ta$man Mako squad has just been named:

Stargazer

There seems to be a clear trend, which I guess comes from NZR:

a category "inside backs" instead of naming halfbacks and first five-eighths separately
development players explicitly named

@canes4life Look under "All Blacks"

@stargazer just deleted my comment after seeing that haha.

Bovidae

Is Squire fit for the NPC?

Stargazer

@bovidae Good question. His knee problems stopped him from playing SR; haven't read anything about where he's at.

@canes4life Look under "All Blacks"

That’s threw me too

It is getting a bit ridiculous when they just name their abs completely seperate from the main squad

Stargazer

@kiwiwomble I guess they do that because they don't expect them to play (which may change, obviously).

Unfortunately, no answer in this article either.

ARHS

Have seen news and squads for 13 teams here. Has Waikato withdrawn? Does anyone know what is going on there? Why no information regarding NPC squad?

Same as usual.

Squad to be announced this week I think. Other provinces haven't released squads yet either.

Kiwiwomble

@stargazer wasn't there some speculation he might join Southland? have they named their squad

Snollygoster

@arhs I think I saw somewhere that BOP will announce their squad tomorrow.

No CM squad announcement yet either. Expecting it soon.

Canes4life

@crucial no squad for Wellington yet either.

Stargazer

As far as I'm aware, only 5 squads have been announced: Canterbury, North Harbour, Otago, Taranaki and Ta$man. Or did I miss one?

Southland I think was announced

Stargazer

@chris No, not yet. Their town & women's squads have been announced, not their senior men's squad.

Yeetyaah

Has Waikato withdrawn?

If they did they probably still wouldn't tell us.
