When are judicial reports usually out?
They are really inconsistent
If they say anything at all it will be on the offical website: https://www.provincial.rugby/news/year
Which Northland player was a thug?

Stuff understands lock Manaaki Selby-Rickit has been a key target with Bay of Plenty making a play at luring the Highlanders lock north. -
@Bovidae Gee this pisses me off..Hopefully Southland can hold on to him ..
-
jeez that Josh Mckay must have a huge attitude problem if no one thinks they can mold that into a solid SR player
And Freedom has been a great find for us (thanks auckland) he's just a bloody solid finisher, he doesn't seem lightning quick but i wouldn't mind seeing him in a straight sprint test, might be deceptive

McMillan is probably using his Maori coach connection. It's not like BOP are short of locks, but could this also be a way of getting Selby-Rickit to the Chiefs?
-
@Kiwiwomble McKay has been pretty bloody good, it'd be a crime if the didn't get an SR contract. Vahaakolo looks great, there was an article that I read recently that the Otago deal he got was through the Landers so I'd say he deserves an SR contract as well.
-
I wish players could stay with their home provinces, and feel for Southland. I believe a salary cap that is staggered to create a travel equalisation subsidy is the fairest way forward. McKay has huge potential. Can't believe how undervalued he seems to be.
-
@Yeetyaah that could be interesting, Vahaakolo doesn't look like the typical SR level player other than when you look at his conversion rate, would love it if he could make the step up
-
@Kiwiwomble There was a really interesting article about Vahaakolo's past a few months back, and what he has done to better himself. That included him leaving school and living on the streets at one stage.
-
@Bovidae i'm fast becoming a fan, i love it when people commit to take a chance like this, came down and played a full club rugby season (up the sharkies) there doesn't seem to be any, "i already have a contract so i'll just rock up for the mitre 10 cup"

Here it is. Well worth the read.
cant remember reading it so definitely will now
-
even bigger fan now, qualified accountant so smart and obviously wanted to secure his future a bit before committing to rugby, long may he stay in the south
...im pretty sure the Vahaakolo's are an old maniototo family.....
-
@Kiwiwomble think they are from Te Tai Tokerau, I know his uncle (who has been plastering stuff on FB) and work with his cousins partner.
His sister Katelyn played for the Kiwi Ferns over the weekend I think it was.
