Pretty damn boring squad if i'm honest

Hopefully some other players outside of this get a run with a number of ABs not available.

[Duluth]

Larger size:

Peni listed as a ten?

[Nogusta]

@Duluth yea he's equally adept at both positions. Very skillful. At Kelston Boys he was actually a 9 or 10. Last season for Manukau he probably played as many games at 10 than he did at 12. This season mostly 12.

[Daffy Jaffy]

I am wondering where Essendon Tuitupou has disappeared to? After starring for the Blues u20's and the NZ u19's he surprisingly missed out on NZu20's then has vanished not in any of these squads. By memory he hasn't played any club rugby or appeared on any 'injured/unavailable' lists for these squads. Maybe he has a season ending injury or is there something more to it? Attitude problem?, Signing elsewhere (NRL or his dads English club?). Maybe our inside oil specialists Nogusta or Steven Harris can do some digging to find out.

[Steven Harris]

@Daffy-Jaffy Spoke to a contact at Ponsonby , has’nt been spotted around the club theres an asumption that hes injured and may have taken the year off

Any news on Ioane's ankle injury?

Supporters club player of the year - Choat
Supporters club development player of the year - Beehre

RTS as player of the year is a joke

[KiwiMurph]

RTS done for drink driving. Sick choice for player of the year Auckland.

[Duluth]

@KiwiMurph said in Auckland Rugby 2023:

Choat has been the best. Thomas, RTS & Beehre all not far behind IMO
