Ngaluafe not there. Or am I way out of date?
Did a quick google search and apparently he left NZ late in 2017 to play in Italy. I think as injury cover, because the article below says it was only until May 2018. It doesn't say for which team and in which competition. According to the article it was uncertain whether he'd be back to push for antoher Stags contract.

Phil Burleigh back from Scotland and is playing for new Brighton. Apparently he has a contract with Canterbury. Also Sam beard is contracted too
-
@chchfanatic wow Phil’s been around for awhile back at his old club Sam Beard is interesting stronger runner back from overseas as well
-

On Thursd ... oh, wait ...
Usually on the Sunday morning after the Semi-Final they name the squad for the game of three halves, don't they? IIRC, that's the RC squad minus Finalists and plus injury cover and cover for the Finalists.

Sunday or Sundee for us Aussie residents.

The Bop union said they would officially announce their squad last Friday but as yet there's been nothing. It seems odd really as they are in camp at the moment and have their first preseason game in four days so I can't understand the delay.

All Canterbury teams are named Sunday after the club final
-
@chchfanatic Any interesting new faces in The Canterbury squad you think will be named.

I’d say it will be pretty stock standard. Maybe Brodie McAllister , Harrison Allen , Hamish Dalziel , Tom Christie , Hugh Renton , ngane punivai might push their way in. Would love to see Sam Gilbert in there after under 19s. He has been killing div 1 this year

Ray Nu'u is a guy I have very high hopes for, apparently he didnt make the squad because they don't want any more inexperienced midfielders.
So Dale McLeod has signed him for Southland.
A big loss, he's had an amazing season.
