@Stargazer They recorded a massive financial loss last season so that is probably all they can afford. Either that or that number of players is the sum total of players they have that are up to NPC standard.

@Stargazer said in NPC 2022:
Wellington have only named a squad of 32 players, and have since added one other player. I wouldn't be surprised if they add a few more.
Bradley Chrichton and Siale Lauaki might feature at some point. The former was one of the best props in Wellington Club rugby this year and was apart of the winning Jubilee Cup team. Still very young though so they may bide their time with him and Lauaki.
No one else really stands out on the club scene that would make the jump up to the Lions atm, unless they sign players from out of region. We could really have done with the experience of Owen Franks.
