@taniwharugby Wish Northland had picked Kali Vaipula given Josh Goodhue was heading to Jaoan ..has genuine international size and is an athlete but given the stocks at lock were healthy in the squad i can understand why he was not picked
-
@Chris Wish he'd see more gametime for Auckland ahead of Vest.

Weird that decision for Best and Pugh to be bought over from Aussie.
With a lot of young talent in Auckland. -
@Chris And it's annoying as I stated a while ago especially at lock, that it also affects our locking stocks for the Blues, hence why we end up signing journeymen to fill in the gaps.
Auckland especially have been pathetic bringing through locks.
-
@Chris there is absolutely no excuse for Auckland to bring in anyone form outside Club Rugby who isnt already an established NPC/Age Group Rep/Super player...the stuff I read about/see online and listening to @Steven-Harris who is out and about every week covering club footy, the talent running around Auckland is insane! Which is probably part of the problem, IDing those that might make that step up and beyond!

With Fusitua signed, and Tuipulotu returning, they may only need a hooker now (would rather not use Riccitelli)?
A young loose forward might force their way in? A tighthead to replace Renata? Maybe a halback or wing?
Or another TH if Laulau goes to France.

I think Nock was on his last year of his deal. He tried to get an early release, so I suspect he’ll go somewhere else
It might be Milo-Harris to replace him. An improvement IMO
