Wellington Lions 2020

@foobaNZ He has been dangerous but I think he will miss out to the higher profile players like Goosen and Aso.
Connor GB is the better brother out of the Garden Bachop bros IMO, he reminds me of a bigger Josh McKay and should lock down that fullback position if he gets plenty of game time.
Yeah the loss of Numia and Armstrong is huge for Wellington's title aspirations. I can't see us doing much in this comp if we don't hold our own at set-piece.

Shame about Numia. I rate him higher than Armstrong and was looking forward to see how he progressed this year. But Armstrong is also a big loss for wellington

Has Connor GB recovered from the back injury & surgery that kept him from playing for the Highlanders this year?
Good question
-
@Winger sure has, he made his come back last week for his club side Norths.
He's starting in the 11 jersey this week - http://www.clubrugby.co.nz/wellington/games-results.php?competition=1&season=16&round=11

@Canes4life "apparently" Not out for season, Heard a rumour Numias out for another 3 weeks due to knee reconstruction over a month ago. and will be avail for selection sooner then we think
-
@mikey07 what a shame, i highly rate Filipo. he played well last time he played in the lions. maybe the bus forced him out?
-
@Higgins i find Kafatolu does nothing at club level but seems to do really well at Mitre10, and Kaliopasi is a good ball carrier but a poor scrummager. with the extra pounds he has, im surpised hes been picked im sure there are other props in wellington region that can do the job. Setivieni Paogo would of been good but chooses the thug life
-
@BerhamporeNinja this is great news. I heard Armstrong might not be out for the whole season either. He should be back late October all going well.
-
@BerhamporeNinja I feel he is still paying for his misdemeanor a couple of years ago which is a shame. Everyone deserves a second chance.
-
Not sure if anyone else noticed this but the Wellington Lions have moved one of their home games to Porirua's Jerry Collins Stadium, against Ta$man on 31 October.

@Canes4life what an awesome idea save on costs, only trouble is where’s the pie cart going to go 😂

I’m not so convinced about Kafatolu to be he seems to do nothing special and seems very average.
