Hey fellas , quick question am I correct in saying Brad Weber has come off contract at the Chiefs and also that this could be his final year at the Magpies ..?
-
@steven-harris Pretty sure he is off contract with NZRU at end of the year.
-
Not sure why this discussion is in this thread, but it's totally possible this is Brad's last year as a Magpie. As posted in the Magpies 2021 thread, Ere Enari is signed for 2 years. It being more than a year of injury cover, may mean they're looking for a future without Brad and then possibly without Fakatava (if he makes the ABs), too.

Hawke's Bay U19 squad:
Had forgotten that Godfrey is still a puppy and still qualifies for this team. That should mean that he still qualifies for NZ U20s next year! If I remember them correctly from school rugby and a few academy games, Curran, Robinson, Kemp, Stok, Hayward and Godfrey are among the best of this squad.

Sat 7 August 2021 - 1.00pm - Memorial Park, Masterton
Wairarapa Bush v Hawke's Bay U19
I assume the Junior Magpies will be playing a Wai-Bush U19 side, as the Wai-Bush Heartland squad plays Wellington Centurions tomorrow, and the Wai-Bush U20 squad plays at the Hurricanes Heartland U20 tournament in Palmerston North. You'd expect our U19s to win this game easily. I hope there will be a stream that we can still watch after the Magpies game.

I haven's seen team line-ups, but apparently there are more representative games, tomorrow.
Whanganui v Hawke's Bay Saracens
Cooks Gardens, Whanganui - k/o 2.30pmCentral Hawke's Bay v Horowhenua-Kapiti
Otane Domain - k/o 2.30pmI vaguely remember that the HB Saracens U18 also plays games, but not sure whether that's already this weekend.
As per usual, no info on the HBRU website.

Saw some posts on instagram. It looks like Jordan Thompson-Dunn has signed a contract with a Portuguese club. I don't know which one. I hope he'll come back and hasn't give up on a Magpies jersey, yet. He's still so young, but young players seem more impatient these days.
I think former (6-cap) Magpie Hayden Hann is still playing there.

Apparently our U18s played as well. They lost 26 - 28 to Wairarapa-Bush U18. No shame, considering they must have missed a lot of players, with Hastings Boys, Napier Boys and Lindisfarne all playing games this afternoon, as well. So must have been a third-string team.
