I reckon the wider squad players will be hooker - who knows, although I suspect Aone Lolofie will spend some time with the squad. Wingham and may be Morgan Mitchell and Hunter Fahey. Lock, Ahio and Palmer will be around. Stodart as the loose cover. Jay Renton for halfback if he is around, thought he had an impressive NPC. Josh Whaanga, van Vugt and Finn Hurley covering the backs. Asi might be around the group too
-
The WTG don't exist anymore.... the academy boys will train with them during pre-season, but outside of that, I think it is unlikely there will be extras as the whole squad barring de Groot (will presumably be covered by Wingham) will be there on day one.
Likely to be some injury cover at lock, and they could well be from outside of the region, but there won't be any backs I wouldn't think. Dom Bird could be one to watch in this department.
-
And while not an official WTG. All those players probably except Morgan and Renton are part of the pathways group

Also mentioned:
Dermody also said that new lock Mitchell Dunshea had been through surgery to fix his Achilles injury, and that he would continue his rehab in Dunedin with a view to being available in April.
Lock Will Tucker is also under an injury cloud, and the uncertainty meant that the Highlanders weren’t in a position to confirm their wider training squad on Thursday.
The Highlanders are weighing up if they need one or two locks to cover for Dunshea and Tucker, and whether they can fill those berths with players already within their system.
-
Will be interesting to see who that might be. I think the management might be looking to get Lui Naeata secured.

Fan Concepts are coming out…this would be awesome, exactly what I would do

Not enough is the correct answer...
Started off as friedrugby changed to frugby have remained ever since. Fruggerby is a different person.
Is Hunter Fahey on his way though?

@Bones What exactly would I gain by having a second account?
Fame, accolades, wealth, wisdom.
I had to ban a duplicate account recently. Someone was enthusiastically agreeing with his own posts
