@Nepia said in Mitre 10 Cup - news, injuries etc:
Damn, so the fat Piri we used to make fun of was only really middle sized Piri.
Did he buy a house in walking distance from KFC?
Maybe mobility scooter distance? I don't think Peri walks anywhere anymore.
-
Some good news for Auckland.
-
@African-Monkey after the weekend, isnt that a bit harsh? Not like he killed anyone
Making hay....
-
@taniwharugby Yeah thought it was a bit harsh personally as I though they'd let him run the water or somthing but good to see the AB selectors taking the hardline with players and making examples out of them starting with Jerome.
-
@African-Monkey Be quite a while since he played a game by now, isn't it?
Has he played since the Sunwolves debacle?
I doubt they'd punish him for something that is absolutely nothing to do with the ABs.

Otago v Ta$man -
(Highlanders and) Ta$man have signed prop Tyrel Lomax for the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
-
@Stargazer Northland were very close to signing Lomax for Mitre 10 cup,just frustrating that the Blues did not have enough foresight to work with the Taniwha to get him across the line.
Saw Lomax playing for the Australian U20s last year against NZ in pre World Cup tournament at Bond University Gold Coast,looked a very impressive athlete,who can definitely scrum.
