Donaldson is a HB
Fihaki wing/FB
Both Punivais are centres but could be used on the wing.

@Stargazer Ngane Punivai first position is wing, Fihaki is wing/midfield, Scott Mellow is usually a hooker. He played for Taranaki for a while

Mellow is a TH Prop play for Mari st Albion Punivai was always a centre in CHCh but was used on the Wing sometimes. Fihaki plays all his rugby in the Crusader Knights and in club for HSOB as a wing /FB never seen him in the centres

Grace will cover lock if needed. Hell, we used Reed Prinsep there at times last season.
Ngani Punivai is 100% a centre who just happens to be able to cover wing. The Highlanders used him on the wing and Canterbury also, but only as a stop-gap.
So annoyed Otago have poached Will Tucker and Sam Gilbert.

@NateHill74 that's far from the point. I'd like to see these young locally produced kids with potential at least establish themselves with - and add value to - Canterbury for a season or three before possibly having to go elsewhere to advance themselves, if indeed they need to move to do so. I'd much rather see a good young local kid retained than someone else brought in.
