Donaldson is a HB
Fihaki wing/FB
Both Punivais are centres but could be used on the wing.
-
@Stargazer Ngane Punivai first position is wing, Fihaki is wing/midfield, Scott Mellow is usually a hooker. He played for Taranaki for a while

Mellow is a TH Prop play for Mari st Albion Punivai was always a centre in CHCh but was used on the Wing sometimes. Fihaki plays all his rugby in the Crusader Knights and in club for HSOB as a wing /FB never seen him in the centres

Grace will cover lock if needed. Hell, we used Reed Prinsep there at times last season.
Ngani Punivai is 100% a centre who just happens to be able to cover wing. The Highlanders used him on the wing and Canterbury also, but only as a stop-gap.
So annoyed Otago have poached Will Tucker and Sam Gilbert.
-
@shark To be fair, Gilbert is injured so he wasn't going to be playing anyways and Otago lost Josh Dickson. Yous have already got Whitelock and Barrett, share your players to the teams that need a lock
-
@NateHill74 that's far from the point. I'd like to see these young locally produced kids with potential at least establish themselves with - and add value to - Canterbury for a season or three before possibly having to go elsewhere to advance themselves, if indeed they need to move to do so. I'd much rather see a good young local kid retained than someone else brought in.
