    @mikedogz I hope that remaining home game will be played in Tonga or Samoa, but if it won't, I hope it will be in Napier. Not holding my breath.

    It is an international venue.

    Good that he's still got the fire in his belly

    But based on NPC form his time is up. Esp as a wing. Maybe he can make it as a 2nd 5 but even for center he seems too slow.

    It does seem like the Canes stuffed up with letting him know though but understandable with a new coach being appointed. And Julian in the, at best, 50/50 category.

    @Duluth sounds a tad entitled eh, be interesting to know if he actually sought clarification or just sat back and expected a contract in the mail.

    I don't see why he should be pissed, he's a perfect fit for MP and vice versa.

    So, he was treated like he was from the Bay rather than the favourite son Wellingtonian that he is 😉 ... he should have been happy he got the last few years past his use-by-date.

    It’s not a great look to complain when he’s not even a definite NPC starter now. Maybe there was some miscommunication.. verbally promised a contract that never came?

    I doubt the Canes would deliberately fuck him around though. They will want to keep his brother happy

    They were worried about an empty embankment when they ended up looking at empty seats with 5 spectators on that side. If they were a permanent tenant Counties would find the money to have it up to standard.

    @Bovidae think Craig was on a full contract at the start of the season wasnt he?

    @Bovidae sorry, I meant he was called in full time prior to the season being kicked off (was called up FT back in Jan)

    You could be right, but he would still have replaced someone injured from the original squad above. Maybe Ofa Tauatevalu?

    Genuine question here and by no means any hate towards Moana. How long do you see Moana lasting in this competition? I’ve had multiple conversations to friends etc and we all struggle to see how Moana can improve. Everything takes time but it’s hard to know what their plan is moving forward.

    Just curious to know what you all think
