No Latrell Smiler Ah Kong, oi thought he'd be in the mix having shifted up from HB.
I'm not sure what the deal is there. He was playing fullback for TA, but obviously is a 1st 5. I may be able to speak to someone on Sat to enquire.
I'm assuming Dom Hardman wil provide cover at Hooker.
Or Anton Milnes.
Will be interested to see if they add some midfield cover
Any ideas? Te Whare would be the obvious choice as he was playing centre in club rugby.

I noticed the last couple of weeks that North Harbour calls its NPC team "Heat". Is that a new name? I thought their men's and women's team were called Hibiscus, but apprently that's only their FPC team.
It's confusing, because also the Counties Manukau FPC team is called "Heat".
