How does the TTT thing work? Isn't he BOP?
You would have to go through the official channels with NZR and fill in the appropriate documentation for a transfer. Rhys Marshall is a NH player. Knewstubb was playing for H-K earlier in the season.

@yeetyaah tell that to the online commentators and bookies.. Ayden Johnstone is the only Waikato starter named for an NZ super franchise earlier this year and that was not the Chiefs even. His reserve Norris was the only Chief before TTT was added.

NZ Rugby - they couldn't give a fuck about running fair and balanced competitions.

Remember - these are the guys who want us to trust them to sign off on the Silver Lake deal.
Their efforts on simple things like running balanced competitions suggest they shouldn't be allowed to have a box of matches without adult supervision!

@chris-b Yes fair call. Waikato had a whole 24 hours or more to get all the players needed for the rest of the comp over the level 3 border. But they cut costs and only took 26 or so. They should pay the price for scrimping to be fair to all.
Mitch J or Waaka should have been training at 9 as cover this week as they carelessly did not arrange suitable training and playing opportunities for other eligible halfbacks in their region during lock down. And they should have foreseen they would likely be hosting the final after they were given the away schedule from hell to motivate them. -
God, if ever there was a game I wanted both teams to lose...

@mariner4life you gotta cheer for Waikato by default as they're Chiefs territory.

No. No I don't

@arhs It is a fair call, because you're either running a proper competition or you're not.
If Waikato is short of halfbacks, they should be signing the next best unaffiliated halfback to play. Not a guy who was playing for another team two weeks ago, because they've had a bit of a tough time.
Has NZ rugby even put out a release explaining the special circumstances of this exemption?

Some background about the situation Waikato have been in.
