Wider guys are on weekly contracts with no guarantees for pay.
Didn’t realise that
Do you know if it’s the same for every wider group player? For instance it would make sense for the Blues to have another specialist lock hang around the group.. would they ever give one guy a 3 month contract? Or is that not allowed?

@Stargazer Zion was part of the Northland HP squad last year but was’nt selected when the final cut for the Taniwha came around so headed off to the MLR ,came back to club footy this year and looked a completely different player for his Mid Northern team who took out the Northland club comp this year .
You are right there many players who don’t play NPC that pick up contracts in the MLR , I have heard the level is similar to heartland rugby but that was a few years ago , since then the standard may have improved. -
@Duluth I have heard Liam Hallam Eames is heading off to the MLR
Sam Caird I believe is first cab of the rank if there is required injury cover or full cover in the Blues.
Allen Craig had a solid season for the Taniwha and we saw some added physicality but I do wonder if his height might be against him in the upside has a great work rate . -

Any idea what a MLR contract is worth?

@muddyriver You sure about this? I have heard NZR pay a pool of players to train full time in the case of injuries.

@muddyriver , your pretty much on the markInteresting. I posed similar question to a group I am involved with. The number of kiwis in MLR this year is huge and growing. It is a decent off season earner and the standard has to be better than Heartland now.

@Stargazer , Josh Syms is moving to the states to coach MLR , does mean his time at the Magpies is done ..?,
George Konia has moved back to the Bay @taniwharugby 🤔
