From the Shield Snorters:
- Lincoln McClutchie, the most notable omission. Just can't believe he didn't get a contract. Geez. Now in Japan to play there until May 2020. I really hope he comes back to give it another shot next year.
- Kianu Kereru-Symes (to be fair, he didn't get enough game time to claim a SR spot; Ash Dixon had a fantastic season);
- Geoff Cridge (he didn't break this season; the Highlanders might give him a call if Selby-Rickit has to be let go);
- Tom Parsons; like McClutchie, off to Japan until May 2020, because he didn't get a SR contract. Has been knocking on that SR door for a few seasons now.
- Caleb Makene, was a great addition to our squad this year. Wouldn't have been a like-for-like replacement of Rayasi, but would have been a good signing for the Canes in his absence.

@Daffy-Jaffy He can't be that old. I can remember him ripping it up for Wanganui before he defected to Manawatu. It doesn't seem that long ago which makes it hard to believe he is in his mid thirties.
