@NateHill74 said in Otago Mitre 10 Cup 2020:

Possible 23 for this season:

1. Jonah Aoina
2. Liam Coltman
3. Hisa Sasagi
4. Josh Hill
5. Sione Misiloi
6. Not to sure yet
7. Slade McDowall
8. Dylan Nel
9. Kayne Hammington
10. Josh Ioane
11. Jona Nareki
12. Sio Tomkinson
13. Aleki Morris-Lome
14. Vilimoni Koroi
15. Michael Collins (C)
16. Ricky Jackson
17. Jamie Mackintosh
18. Not to sure yet
19. Woody Kirkwood (North Otago last year)
20. Not to sure yet
21. James Arscott
22. Matt Whaanga
23. Freedom Vaha'akolo

George Bower was one of the form props during the SRA so he is the favorite to play on the left side of the scrum IMO.

Nel to 6 and nasi at 8, koroi wasted on the wing, Collin to 13 and koroi at 15

@cgrant Hammington is gone for the season with injury. Last year's southland half back Logan Crowley has been playing club rugby in dunedin in the last few weeks. He was good value last year and trained with the Hurricanes over the Christmas break

[mikey07]

@macmanus he said he was

[macmanus]

@NateHill74 i have seen you comment about Parete. He isnt in thriller Taranaki squad, he can stay in Otago?

[Kiwiwomble]

might we see TUJ at 12 and Sio at 14?

[NateHill74]

@Kiwidom he didn't play this Saturday as Zingari didn't have his name down on one of the team sheets. He may have gone back to Southland like Flynn Thomas from Kaikorai

[NateHill74]

@macmanus Yeah, that's what I was wondering. It would be interesting as he can play loosie and lock (fill in for Josh Dickson)

[NateHill74]

@macmanus I posted a training squad earlier in this feed, just have a check up near the top

[NateHill74]

@mikey07 I thought it was just the Highlanders. Cause he's played for Wellington for the past few seasons

[NateHill74]

@cgrant Not going to lie, I completely forgot about Bower, he will definitely be starting at 1, Aoina 17, with Hohneck on the bench at 18 backing up Sasagi at 3

[NateHill74]

@Kiwiwomble or the other way around, i guess we'll see, there could also be Parete if he signs with Otago

[Kiwiwomble]

@NateHill74 Parete the lock?

[NateHill74]

@Kiwiwomble

[Kiwiwomble]

@NateHill74 sorry, thought you were talking about my last post about midfield/wing...in saying that...he hasn't got the hands for a No8

[NateHill74]

@Kiwiwomble oh i see know

[NateHill74]

@Kiwiwomble i agree though, he would fit 6 better, which we need a position for

[Kiwiwomble]

@NateHill74 or keep him in the engine room where hes been doing a good job for the landers....and tell him to top roaming wide

[Bovidae]

1.96 m for Parete seems very generous. When he played for the Chiefs he didn't look that tall relative to the other loose forwards, and was dwarfed by other locks.
