Dice

@Daffy-Jaffy Cameron Suafoa could be a lock option even though he's playing 6 for College Rifles.

And if we lose a couple of locks to injury, Waimana Riedlinger-Kapa might be asked to cover lock.

@Daffy-Jaffy Former manawatu lock Liam Hallam-Eames is playing for Grammar at present after returning from England. He must be about 24/25 now.Think he was Hurricanes development squad before heading overseas and could be an option this year

Tim

@Kiwidom Nice info mate, thought I recognised that name from somewhere. Grammar TEC just thrashed Ponsonby, did he play in that game?

Kiwidom

@Tim Unsure on that one, but saw his name listed against Suburbs recently

Nogusta

@Dice Suafoa has signed with Ta$man. I think he played his first club game down there on Saturday.

Dice

@Nogusta Didn't they want him last year? Looks like they got it done this time.

Ta$man can now field an all-Auckland backrow if they wanted with Suafoa, Havili and Fox-Matamua down there.

Is Tone Ng Shiu aligned with Auckland? After years away, he's finally back playing for Pakuranga.

Duluth

Dice

Marist have been playing halfbacks at 10 all season.

They should try to lure someone like Moli Faiva over next year.

Does anyone know if Counties or North Harbour have weekly team sheets for viewing..cheers

Kiwidom

@Magic65 North harbour don't seem to do weekly team lineups and have emailed them a few times over recent years to ask the same thing. Some clubs post their starting lineups on Facebook. As for counties, someone like @mikedogz might know

Stargazer

@Magic65 You may find the NH team sheets via this website. Click on the name of the clubs. It's possible that not all clubs upload their line-ups.

@Magic65 Takapuna post their prem 1 team sheets on Facebook.

Magic65

@Stargazer Cheers mate I've been there..it seems optional to post up cause most don't submit their line-ups.

Magic65

@Tim Thank you sir.

Magic65

@Kiwidom . Thanks Kiwi. If only they were like Auck/Waikato & posted weekly. I'm in Melbourne & curious to see where the guys have all landed.

Inga Finau has picked up a Auckland Mitre 10 contract for 2020
My source says he was not wanted by Canterbury

Inga Finau

Auckland needs more midfield cover, so that makes sense.

African Monkey

@Chris I guess they see Poihipi, McLeod and Ennor as sufficient enough depth without needing Finau as well.

It seems so,they also have Isaiah Punivai and Ngane Punivai as midfield cover .
