Unlucky Players not to get a SR Contract
-
He was named in the Premiership team of the decade awhile back - and the Premiership has had some good locks. It has to count for something. Though it might've been partially based on longevity rather than a couple of particularly dominant seasons

Niko Jones and Anton Segner both have massive future ahead of them IMHO. I am sure they will be involved in Super Rugby next year as development players and might even get some game time.
I haven't seen enough of Jones yet to see what he brings to the table. I recall around the same stage in his career his dad was not the biggest, but he was stronger than the average loosie with some good pace. Guessing the young fella is similar with his sevens background.
I think Segner is going to be a scary beast.

@Crazy-Horse yea I dont think Jones is upto it yet, talented for sure but still looks a ways off, but Segner looks class.

No, they are separate to the main squad of 38.
The WTG players aren't often named, so you need to check out trainings/preseason to see who is involved.
Another fine example of how NZR and SR teams keep their fans engaged

@Machpants The team's instagram/FB page will often have photos too. But an official media release wouldn't be too much to ask for.

Yeah and official updates, weekly about injuries etc, during the season. It just shows how shit NZ rugby is at this. So far behind, and losing engagement, apart from hard core old fluffybunnies who are happy to compile their own lists!

@Machpants yeah fan engagement over announcements, stats etc is a massive blackhole for rugby.
