@stargazer well quite. It's a discussion board, and discussions are fluid
-
Don't really get why Naholo has gone to the Crusaders. Don't think he will see much game time there. With Lester, Bridge, Reece, Jordan and Ennor all capable of playing wing I don't think he will see many minutes VS the Highlanders where he could have competed for a starting position.
-
@canes4life Unless the Highlanders already decided to sign his brother ...
-
@stargazer that's true. Probably had room for both though.
-
the chat was we were trying for both...but maybe not true, id say more likely playing for the legendary Crusaders being more attractive is a more obvious reason, young bloke are always full of confidence they can prove themselves and displace an incumbent
-
@kiwiwomble tbf to outplay Bridge all you have to do is catch the ball.

From what I can find out the 2022 Squad looks like this with some gaps to be filled
A Lock maybe Romano.
2 Loose Forwards Segner maybe one.
First five unless Havilli is used as cover . If so another back or a 7th Prop maybe the option.
2 more backs. Isiah Punivai and Dallas McLeod I would be happy to not see these 2 getting those spots.Props:
Joe Moody, Ollie Jager, Isi Tuungafasi, George Bower, , Tamaiti Williams, Fletcher Newell

Hookers:
Codie Taylor, Brodie McAlister, Andrew Makalio,

Locks:
Scott Barrett, Quentin Strange, Mitchell Dunshea, Sam Whitelock,

Loose forwards:
Cullen Grace, Pablo Matera Ethan Blackadder, Sione Havili, , Tom Christie

Halfbacks:
Mitch Drummond, , Bryn Hall,Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi

Inside backs:
Richie Mo’unga, Fergus Burke,

Midfield:
Jack Goodhue, , Braydon Ennor, ,David Havilli,

Outside backs:
Chay Fihaki, George Bridge,Kini Naholo , Sevu Reece, Will Jordan, Leicester Faingaanuku, -

Fihaki sounds interesting, will they play him longterm at wing centre or FB given he apparently can really kick the ball? -

Fihaki I believe is seen as a FB long term.
Wing /FB will be his spot in 2022 I think.When he gets game time. -
I don't watch much NPC so haven't seen what others see in Fihaki, but geez he was underwhelming for the Saders last year. Hopefully just teething problems for him.
