Jack Goodhue will be available for Northland in this years 2023 Bunnings NPC if he’s not selected for the RWC , however a post NPC move to France is very much on the cards , whilst there was talk of possible move to the Blues its more likely he will return to the Crusaders if the French gig doesn’t play out
Good news for Taniwha fans -
@Steven-Harris great news alright, I listened to the What a Lad podcast with him yesterday, good listen.

Had a listen to that. Thoughtful player. Northland have really missed having players like him in and around the team.

Will be interesting to see how he goes. He had a very good season back in 2018 (I think that was the year) but never kicked on from that
His problem has always been his error rate
-
Moorby at fullback, Trainor on the wing?
-
@taniwharugby said in Northland 2023:
@Duluth especially with Murray out in the early rounds, although I'd live to see Murray given a crack in the midfield too, especially outside Goodhue.
And we have Tua as well. With Nock finding form, Reihana fit? We could have a solid starting backline.
-
Moorby/Anderson
Trainor /Murray/Rush
Leilua/Rush
Tua/Ranger
Goodhue
Reihana/Hawkins ..?
Nock /Milo Harris/HapiRush /Matich/
Ma’u/Uluinakauvadra
McNamara/R Woods
Caird /Hallam Eames
Craig/ ..?
Adams/Cobb
Apoua/Robolo
Kauika Peterson /Olsen/MouldsSome good starting options
-
@Steven-Harris some good options…
Is Anderson ready to start? Young talent
Brady Rush will be interesting - 7s is a different game so some adjustment required
Is that Rebolo the Brazilian player from the states signed by Force?
How is Rory Woods looking? -
@Steven-Harris
No Tom Robinson? When is he going overseas? -
@Stargazer I do like the appointment for the most part, aside from player/coach for Wellsford this year I'm unsure what his credentials are otherwise.
That said, from what i hear, he like Dan Hawkins have been doing alot of that stuff the past couple of seasons within the team anyway, and I expect in time, Hawkins will likely step into coaching too.
