@Bovidae Tai Cribb has signed with Auckland for this years 2025 Bunnings NPC , was locked in a bidding duel with Southland and Northland but opted for the short trip up the motorway.

@Steven-Harris Disappointing as Waikato doesn't have much depth at lock. If Tucker doesn't return we'll be really thin. I hope Filipo has someone lined up. Maybe Eti gets promoted early, but it will rely on McWhannell staying fit.
I'm curious if McAlister opts to stay up north. @Chris is he signed for Canterbury?

Has Liam Pratt signed with Waikato? He has been the Canterbury B prop for the past few seasons but hasn’t had an opportunity at the next level. Looks to be playing club rugby for Te Awamutu Sports Club now

My understanding is that the 6 Waikato props are already sorted. Ayden Johnstone has retired and will be replaced by Will Martin.
I note that Joe Walsh is back too from Southland.
