@Bones all ABs are affiliated with an NPC team, regardless of whether they play for them or not.

E.g. I think all the Barrett boys are in the Taranaki NPC squad.

Obviously, but I'd be interested in how much they've paid for a guy who's not going to play and is relocating anyway.

[Bovidae]

@Bones The PUs get money from NZR for their ABs missing the NPC. I doubt they lose money based on the salary cap.

Locks:

@Canes4life Filo Paulo still floating around. That’s impressive.

Big lad indeed. There are a few promising locks coming through Wellington atm but they are still young and probably won't feature until next year.

He might even remember when HOBM won the jubilee.

@Canes4life I remember when we went to the Southland game at Hutt Rec last year and the guys next to us were like that guy does nothing for the size of him he goes backwards into contact I found it quite interesting.

@Bones When they beat my mighty Wainuiomata in the final.

[Canes4life]

Why the fk have we signed Leni Apisai? What a dud signing that is.

[Higgins]

@Canes4life Who is lining up to be the next signing - Eric Sione?

Tanner Vili. Inside back cover.

[mikey07]

TJ Va’a back up 10

[mikey07]

@Canes4life Probably signed him because Auckland or nobody else wanted him

Hes 28 now

[Kiwidom]

@Higgins Alex Fidow as a number 8 ( where he's been playing his club rugby all season)

[Canes4life]

As always, Wellington stacked in the midfield with three former ABs and one current AB to choose from.

[mikey07]

Weird how a couple of club rugbys top tru scorers don’t get a look in yet we keep picking the same old players like Savea, surprised there’s no Sam Clarke either considering he was there abouts last year.
