I would add the following as unlucky -mostly wider squad candidates, or looking elsewhere???
Fullback: T Robinson, J Trainor, D Wild,
Wing: H Murray, Ed Fidow (MP?), T Cook-Savage
Centre: D Rona R Nu'u Lalomilo
10's: L Cashmore
9's:L Campbell, R Judd, L Milo-Harris
Loosies: J Melvin, A Brash, O Haig
Lock: H Dalzell, H Burr, J Bekhuis, L Hallam-Eames
Prop: J Lay, R Cobb, P Sheck, S Calder
Hooker: I Moananu, J O'Reilly,R JacksonNone of these are hugely unlucky in my view - bar perhaps James O'Reilly
Noted that JGB, NMS, Tua and Li all signed overseasJGB only looked overseas when he was dropped and couldn't find another NZ team. Sheck I felt was a bit unlucky. But maybe he needs another year of performing well at NPC level as starting TH for Wellington. Hes still only 22 so plenty of time still
O'Reilly was definitely in the unlucky category. Unsure why he was dropped. Maybe coaches don't like his attitude as he performed well for the Canes when he played last year
I was surprised O'Reilly missed out to , must be in attitude surely, as he seemed to do ok on field.

@ARHS I think Heremaia Murray suffered a little when Northland had thier slump mid season after a stellar first few games, all our good tries he had a crucial touch in.
I think his chance will come and had he been given one now, he'd have looked comfortable at the next level too, I do wish he'd been given time at his preferred spot in the mid field though.

Western Force announced Argentina prop Santiago Medrano is returning in 2023. Medrano had left the Force at the end of last season to join Worcester but the English club’s financial difficulties have seen them removed from the competition.

Confirmed Tua at Brumbies
Frustrating as I thought he was just hitting his straps at Super level with the limited oops he received. He isn’t eligible for Wallabies is he?

@Bovidae i do not remember him at all but see he was announced for otago back in 2020
-
@Kiwiwomble He played only one game (10 minutes) from the bench v Northland.
-
@Stargazer ok, so forgivable not remembering him

He was in the same rep cohort as Jermaine Pepe, who went down to Otago from Canterbury. Would only be early 20s.

The Waratahs named their 2023 squad yesterday.

@cgrant I wish we knew. We only know a few players who have been announced as having signed a development contract. Once preseason starts, we'll have to examine all the photos on social media to identify more players. I don't understand why they don't publish a list of WTG players anymore.

The 2023 Brumbies squad has been named:
-
@Stargazer Is that Sefo Kautai the same guy that propped the Waikato scrum a few times about five years ago? Think he departed to Japan?
-
@Higgins He joined the Brumbies in March 2021 as injury cover and has been with them since. He's played 16 games for them. He's been with Waikato since 2016.
He signed with Kobe Kobelco Steelers for the 2020 season, but Covid happened, and I don't think he's played for them at all.
