NPC 2023

@taniwharugby Unfortunately for the Northland Taniwha impressive Fijian winger Solomone Naiduku who looked extra good running around for the Hurricanes in preseason super rugby has declined what was a very good offer to move north for the 2023 Bunnings NPC
Naiduku who had limited minutes for the Paramata NRL top side in 2022 is currently part of the Hurricanes wider training squad has decided throw in his lot with Counties Manukau for the upcoming NPC season ..Bugger ..! -
@Steven-Harris There will be supporters of a few more provinces that are disappointed! I haven't seen enough of him to know for sure I'm one of them, but he looked promising.
-
@Stargazer Naiduku has a wife and child in Auckland so it made sence to stay close to home
Could be a fun watch for Counties Manukau with Naiduku and Malimali on the flanks -

Couple of things.
- 2.03m/122kg is good!
- Kent Lambert was before my time
-
-
Defending champs and Ranfurly Shield holders Wellington have released their draw. Man it feels good to write that.
The Southland Stags to get the first challenge.
-
really does show how hard it is to make money with only 5 home games a season
-
@Kiwiwomble Not exactly true if you have a team good enough to give you home ground advantage in the quarters, semis and the final.
-
@Kiwiwomble That term has been used for years now for the week in which teams play a mid-week game (so 3 games in about 8-10 days).

@Stargazer ha! learn something new every day, hadn't noticed it before
