    @taniwharugby Plenty of players are combining MLR and NPC. The scheduling of both competitions allows that, fortunatley. So players signing for MLR clubs isn't really a worry for the NPC; only - in some cases - for the SRP depth as franchises will have to dig deeper when injury strikes.

    @Stargazer i knew he was off to MLR, but interesting that says former Northland lock, my understanding was he had re-signed, maybe it didn't workout 🤷♂ shame if he isn't back, he is a very good npc player.

    @taniwharugby Maybe he has? A lot of NPC players come back in the MLR off season.

    @taniwharugby I agree with @African-Monkey. I wouldn't read to much in the wording they use.

    Not sure where news of this has been publicised other than on clubrugby.co.nz but google search is not that helpful at this point in time

    He definitely doesn’t look like a rugby prop anymore. All the best too him, I’m sure he will go well in league.

    @Stargazer He's pretty young, only 20. This was his first year of NPC.
