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.

@chchfanatic You know this Winger apparently moved back from League Josh Aileone - University, Maddocks has him in the wider training group

Jamie Spowart looked handy in the JWC.
Ta$man creating a tradition of producing good and verstalie fullbacks cum wingers or midfielders.
Malneek
Havili
T Marshall
Lowe
SpowartOnly Malneek of those wasn't particulary versatile.

@rapido Robbie played a fair bit at first five - including occasionally for the Mako. James Marshall similarly - though more fullback once he left Ta$man.
Will Jordan looks like he could play wing pretty comfortably - if he ever gets back to playing.
