NPC 2024

@Kiwiwomble I feel having games in Porirua every week is a huge risk. It would be better to mix it up between Porirua and the Hutt because you're highly likely going to lose punters from the Hutt Valley and the wider Wellington City who won't be bothered with the commute if it's solely based in Porirua.
NPC sides don't have the pull and the star power to entice people to commute that far anymore.

More info:

Dipton’s Sean Withy will return home, having signed a three-year deal with Rugby Southland. -
good for Southland but gutted to see Otago lose him

Taranaki is quick to release contracted player lists.
Franklin has also verbally agreed to return.

@taniwharugby Yeah, some PU's are more proactive in engaging with their fanbase and publicly releasing this information.

This appears to be bloody good news for the future of NPC.
