Do you think Sullivan will get some opportunities in the midfield this year?
He would say that centre is his favoured position. Sullivan has had so few opportunities since he has been in the main squad, so I'm not sure what the situation is there.
The first choice midfield will be Tupaea-ALB with Nankivell as the backup. I'd hope Sullivan is the next option, if he is still contracted, ahead of Wainui and Lowe. Wrampling is one for the future at centre.

going to be interesting how this plays out with contracts
keys to this year will be getting everyone fit eg moli (and signed) and getting brodie and sam back. as long as this happen im sure forward pack will be fine.
backs are going interesting as who has muli year deals and where we can move.
sullivan and pohipi will be at risk with wrampling i would imagine taking one of there spots.
what we really need is that out standing winger or two and how and who that could be. with out knowing what spots are available makes it hard to pick but they could use a spot from midfield and use wainui and lowe as backup .naholo opens up a spot or run loose forwards light (we had lots last year) at this stage Ratave ,Dawai and Narawa ? -

Someone said that we had signed meihana grindlay so am guessing he is on a wtg contract
No way he would be on a full contract ahead of Wrampling, who starts ahead of him in the NZ U20s, and has more experience at NPC/SR level.
I wouldn't mind the taranaki wing tikoisolomone seems to have some pace and x factor
Pick your Fijian winger from within the region.

Te Whare is in the King Country Heartland squad.
I had noticed he played for them in a pre-season game so obviously a late addition.
Not in this list.

@machpants yeah I believe that was his first year at NPC level.
So ITM cup is fair, 'Frazer' Tech not so good.

Only a 1 yr deal, so probably DMac's replacement.
Is there word on the 3rd halfback? Is it Nock? Was hoping they might get Luke Campbell back if Hurricanes released him, or Cortez Ratima.
The Hurricanes have released Luke Campbell
