There has been an article under the headline HARDHAM CUP TO BECOME 10 TEAMS THIS YEAR contributed to the clubrugby.co.nz website by a person purporting to be Chris Rattue-Kneepkins. Little hard to work out if it is the Rattspew or not but readers have been warned.

gain HOBM: Fritz Rayasi from Northland
he was with OBM up here, played a couple of games in the Northland dev side and then went walk-about.
Certainly a talented player, so hopefully gets his head space right.
What little I saw of him in club looked very promising. Bit more Caleb Clarke than Salesi Rayasi.

With the comp start delay, my club Te Rapa went to Taupiri for a game of three halves with them and Pirongia. All teams were pretty even. Doesn't look like Taupiri have brought in any imports this year. Saw ex Counties player Adam Cathcart, who I know was retired due to hip issues playing for Taupiri.

Have they in the recent past? Even though Huntly still appears to have a club I am surprised some of their better players don't migrate to Taupiri. Huntly is a RL town.

@bovidae There is always rumours going around that clubs pay players. They are always financially healthy through good sponsors and farmers donating calves. I am pretty sure the last time they made prems they were giving match payments. A player from that season approached Te Rapa through the Facebook page and they were talking about match payments.

Anyone in the North Waikato that wants to play a good level of rugby plays at Taupiri. Huntly has a good core of locals including a couple of ex Te Rapa people who went back to try and improve them. They get a few guys from South Auckland too. Ngaruawahia and Te Akau were combined for a while and now are gone.

@higgins Maybe they've been replaced in Premier 1 by Helensville? Can't see them in Prem 2 either though. Weird.
When was the last time Mahurangi actually won a game? Perhaps back in the old Navy club days?

Onewhero are just running an U85s this year. The U85 side has a lot of local boys compared to what the premier side had.

Disappointing to see both Otahuhu and University conceding their games by default in Auckland rugby in this weeks opening games of their pre-season tournament.
