Can they still play?

@stargazer Who knows now. Perhaps selection is on a case by case basis?
Time for someone to do a list of the unlucky XV.

@bovidae Thing is, I'd be reasonably happy if I knew for certain that certain young players had a development contract, but they never publish those lists.
Oh, and look at this post:
@number-10 said in Hurricanes 2019 Discussion:
Devan Flanders told me the three-year contract was : first year as development (covering him in the Under 20's next year) and years two and three are full contracts.
It is eminently possible that others like Kereru-Symes,
Fakatavaand McClutchie have something similar. From a Hawke's Bay perspective I hope so. -

Seriously, Tupou stays at the blues but this guy can’t get a gig? WTF?
Anyway, he’d go in my unlucky 23.

Olmsted!
He’s not kiwi, but I’m still surprised he didn’t find a home. I’d take him at the Chiefs.
It's surprising they didn't pick him up as it appears its Chiefs policy to pick foreigners (the Crusaders seem to have slowed their similar policy).

In itself, that’s a firing offence. He’s a good player, but not one you lock up and protect at the risk of losing others. He’s our MMac - can’t fucking get dropped.

The issue is the Blues have almost half a dozen of these clowns clogging up their squad. Collins, Tupou, Apisai, Pulu, Nock,

@kiwimurph Yeah poor recruitment over the years is still fucking us over. Wel still have massive holes at hooker, halfback, centre and fullback.
Looks like another long season for the Blues.

So the Highlanders hoard looseforwards, chiefs have a gaggle of props, Crusaders maintain their tradition of saying we want all the first fives, Hurricanes are heavy on hookers and the Blues have taken what they can.

@hooroo said in Super Rugby News:
Has Hoani Matenga made a squad?
Franchises don't need guitar players in the professional era.
That's me saying no I don't think so.
Yeah, I did a quick scan and couldn't see him.
