Gibson Popoali'i. I liked his individual try for Counties against Taranaki.

[Duluth]

Jacomb was another one who stood out

[Canes4life]

Kyle Preston and Du Plessis Kirifi were very influential in Wellington's win over Auckland.

[Landers92]

Fakatava doing his annual NPC dominance.

Sean Withy for Southland was nothing short of outstanding. Had he still been with us, I feel we may have won. That’s how influential he was.

Mate I got fairly big wraps on this fella. Could be because I've seen a fair bit of him being a Naki man. But think he got a lot of what I like in a 10.

[Chris]

Brodie McAlister was strong for Canterbury not just the maul tries but in general
Jamie Hannah the other Canterbury stand out.
Levi Amua also strong off the bench for Ta$man.

Suafoa - seeing more an more of the subtle touches to go with the hard work

What's his motor like ?

[Winger]

@Canes4life said in NPC Form Players:

Kyle Preston

I thought hae had an outstanding game

Passing
Running
Kicking. Up and unders maybe not so good by line kicking was
Decision making
Defence I think was good too

I will follow him closely from now on

But keep this up and he should be certain to get a SRP contract

He is outstanding. I truly believe he has all the tools to continue on and push for higher honours in the future.

Only watched the Northland Vs Canterbury game. I thought Heremaia Murray was the most dangerous back on display

Does Heremaia Murray have a Super contract for 2025? He would be a awesome player to replace Moorby at the Canes.

Cole Forbes - instrumental link in first 2 games and master of the 50/22

Vai is going well too. A very good back three at this level

[bayimports]

@Duluth yeah above average talented back three for this level for sure.

He worked well with Cashmore against CM.

[bayimports]

@antipodean also with Trask in first game, his pinpoint 50/22 outstanding

Not someone you say is an all attack player, but links well, defends well, and actually has tactical nous.

To be honest and maybe a bit controversial but I thought he was often better at fullback for AKL than Perofeta

[Landers92]

There’s the Stodart we have been waiting to see. Outstanding

[SouthernMann]

@Landers92 really looking forward to watching hia growth over the next season or two. Will be disappointing to see him drop into lock when Lio-Willie is available

[Landers92]

@SouthernMann Hopefully they can rotate. I heard a whisper this was Lio-Willies last season down south so if that’s the case why not get Stodart some more time in the saddle. All going well he’s the future 8 for Otago and Highlanders. The boy is still only 20, some massive potential.

I'd be fairly certain Lio-Willie doesn't want to come back after his contract. Didn't want to stay full-time in the first place. Just needs to find a provincial home.
