@tim out of curiousity could he play NPC?

[Tim]

@bayimports He's supposed to play NPC this year, so I guess he will be available early.

[KiwiMurph]

@bayimports Yes. That's been the plan.

[bayimports]

'Tough to hold back the tears': RTS leaving Warriors early

Warriors boss Cameron George confirms captain's time with NRL strugglers is over.

Nice of them to let him go early, looking forward to seeing how he goes.

@tim initial plan was him to play the last 4 games. How serious was his injury last week?

Before he was released there were NRL articles saying he might have played this weekend.

Hard to predict when a player is ready to come back from a concussion though

[Dice]

Heard Alama on the radio and he said they'll likely play him in the outside backs with potential to move into the midfield.

He also said they've had no contact with Roger, so who knows when he'll join us.

[Dice]

When talking about the make up of the team, Alama said we've got Super players from the Blues, Hurricanes and Chiefs.

I wonder which Chiefs players we'll be getting, because I don't think there were any Auckland players in the Chiefs team this year.

@dice Ta'avao?

[Tim]

@dice Did he say when the team will be announced?

[Dice]

@kiwimurph Totally forgot we had him.

He didn't mention when the team will be announced, but he did say they'll add a few additions to the team after the last pre-season game.

@duluth good to see Choat in there.

[Duluth]

@tim

Also I hope that showed the first choice 10/12 combo (Plummer/Evans)

[Tim]

@duluth Who do you think will play centre? Lam?

[Duluth]

@tim

No idea. Maybe Kata? Assuming the rumour is correct.. I don’t think we’d recruit him as a winger?

I wouldn't think Auckland rugby would be dumb enough to recruit him as a centre. But then again it appears they're dumb enough to recruit him full stop so I should just return to my cave.
