Canterbury v North Harbour

@Stargazer said in Canterbury v North Harbour:
@Crazy-Horse Not a Cantab, but since none of the Cantabs here has replied and I watch almost all NPC games, I think I can answer. I don't think Harford is SR material; not yet anyway. By the way, I think the same about Ta$man's Campbell Parata. Adequate at NPC level (although Parata's goal kicking as been really off at times), but I can't see them in a NZ SR team. (Parata was in the Force's academy, last year, so may return there in 2023.)
I think I heard during one of the games that Parata is heading back to Aussie. Wasn't listening too closely at the time though.
Has Harford actually had much game time? That's why I was interested in what the Cantabs are saying about him.
-
@Crazy-Horse No, he hasn't had much game time at all. He got just over 20 minutes against the Poo and came on in the final minutes of the game against Wellington. And then the entire game, yesterday. Last year, I think he only got a few minutes in one game.

Canterbury also has ex-NPBHS 1st 5 Jack Parker, who has been loaned to Buller. I've no idea where he is at in his development.
He is in the Crusaders academy but didn't make the Canterbury B squad so was loaned out to Buller.

@Chris Too old for the Canterbury U19 team?
I believe so, he was in the Crusaders u/20 squad

@Bovidae The most underwhelming 10 playing Super Rugby U20s, IMO.
I'm not saying I rate Parker, just that he is in their system. I don't remember him being anything special when I saw him live for NPBHS either.

@Stargazer said in Canterbury v North Harbour:
@Chris We have players in the Hawke's Bay U19, who played for the Hurricanes U20s. So that doesn't say much.
Yeah but Parker was not picked in the Canterbury u/19 squad that probably tells us something.

@Nevorian Owen Bell, is that a cross between George Bell and Owen Franks?
What he’s saying is two players is greater than one. I agree.
