    <p>Ex-Magpie seems to be going well in Auckland club rugby. Although not a Bay boy, I liked him as West's back-up. He has a good boot. Wonder how much game time he will get in Auckland if both Hickey brothers play for Auckland again.</p>

    <p>Just read that Clint Newland is playing club rugby in Wanganui. If he makes himself available, he may even be picked for the Heartland competition and play with Wanganui for the Ranfurly Shield on 6 August.</p>

    <p>Trying to remember which players we are losing or who otherwise won't play this season:</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Horrell</p>
    <p>Fruean</p>
    <p>Guildford</p>
    <p>Buckman</p>
    <p>Eaton?</p>
    <p>Elkington-MacDonald</p>
    <p>O'Connor</p>
    <p>Stanley</p>
    <p>Franks B</p>
    <p>Edmonds (injury)</p>
    <p>Michael Allardice (injury - out for most, if not all, of the season)</p>
    <p>Dagg (if selected for ABs)</p>
    <p>Retallick (ABs)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><u>New to the squad and likely to play for the Magpies</u> (haven't included players who are contracted to HBRU but no certainties for Magpies selection):</p>
    <p>Sam McNicoll</p>
    <p>Brad Weber (unless needed for ABs)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Am I missing someone?</p>

    <p>Yes, that's good, but they're not new to the squad. Cridge will be one option to replace Allardice. Renton will be one option to replace Stanley/O'Connor. Evans started the season at 8, so will probably get his spot back.</p>

    <p>I'm trying to remember who the <strong>new </strong>recruits are (and who of them will be playing, so not Retallick) to replace some of the people who have left.</p>

    <p>Mason Kean got on for the last 15 minutes of the MAC game this weekend, so hopefully will be good for NPC</p>

    <p>Apparently, Robbie Fruean could still be a possibility this year for HB. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>He's been having health problems which is why he hasn't appeared for the Crusaders in 2016.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>His two-year contract with HB finished end of last year and is playing future is somewhat unknown.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The Saracens (Magpies wider-training squad) play the Manawatu Evergreens in Palmerston North this Wednesday 30th.</p>

    <p>No, lets not pick up Fruean. Rather a young HB player than a continually unavailable to play guy who has had one good game for the Bay and a bunch of average at best ones.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Hopefully we've got some good players coming through though because we're looking pretty weak depth wise at the moment.</p>

    <p>Midfield contenders:</p>
    <p>Lewis Marshall, has a Magpies contract</p>
    <p>Jonah Lowe, has a Magpies contract</p>
    <p>Billy Ropiha, has a Magpies contract? - still a contender for Olympic sevens?</p>
    <p>Cole Eru, last year's HB Dev team</p>
    <p>Matthew Garland, last year's HB Dev Team </p>
    <p>Neria Fomai, having a good club season</p>
    <p>Star Timu, Magpie in 2012 but playing more at fullback for his club</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I think last four names are basically playing for one position.</p>

    <p>That Manawatu team has a few names I recognise.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Harrison Brewer is the son of 1986-1995 All Black Mike Brewer.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Mark Atkins and Tom Parsons both played for the Magpies.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Travis Taylor played HB U16 - went to CHB College</p>
    <p>Tim Cadwallader played HB U18 - went to Lindisfarne College.</p>

    <p>Apparently, the Manawatu Evergreens are leading 31-0 at half time. That's going well ...  :(</p>

    <p>Full time: 59-0 to Manawatu.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>That score doesn't give me much confidence in our club rugby players. Although players like TBW, Ellery Wilson & Billy Ropiha were not playing, last year's Magpies Aoake, Long, Tangaere, Waqa, Chase, Fahamokioa & Emerson were all there.</p>

    <p>Well I guess the benefit of the result is that a few contenders will probably have a black line put through their name, meaning selection candidates get narrowed down. For those 15 or so that were unavailable, it was probably a good game to miss!</p>

    <p>I am extremely disappointed that the HBRFU logo is included alongside the name of the team in Stargazers post of 28/06/16 at 4.59pm. The Saracens Rugby Club are a completely separate organisation from the HBRFU so whoever included the HBRFU's logo can give themselves a damn good uppercut.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I am even more disappointed in getting such a hiding. About the only redeeming thing is there were only five players that started that appear to be even remotely likely to be in the Mitre10 Cup squad; the front row, Waqa at lock and Shannan Chase and most of those will probably not be regular starters. If that's the best we can do without our Super rugby players (the Poo were without there's as well) then we look to be in a spot of bother come the season proper and injuries kick in. Come to think of it did we not get mothered by someone else big time in a pre-season match last season as well? Thank heavens I resisited the temptation to sneak up for the match.</p>
