    @canes4life said in Wellington Lions 2021:

    @mikey07 none of the Hurricanes Under 20s made the cut apart from Morgan & Love. Higgins should definitely be there, maybe there is a restriction on how many players you can have in the squad that are around the 19/20 age bracket? Otherwise it's laughable that he's missed out to the very mediocre Alosio.

    You may be right. Both Harry Godfrey and Frank Lochore made the Magpies squad. Godfrey is U19 and Lochore at least U20. Tiaki Fabish and Jordan Thompson-Dunn are not in the squad. I expect them to be named in the HB Saracens (Jonty Stewart has been named in our U19 squad; Godfrey, too, btw).

    What I don't get is that Higgins / Lakai aren't part of the dev team either... anyone know why?

    Maybe in the Wellington U19s?

    @stargazer I wonder if that trend continues over the other squads? Hopefully that's the case and they are just focusing on under 19s this season.

    Higgins and Godfrey are future Hurricanes IMO, atleast Godfrey made the HB squad.

    Otago are at about 5 u20 players overall (not sure which are development or even if any are development positions)

    @canes4life he's not in the centurions /development team either, so was wondering if he's injured or heading overseas

    @kiwidom He seemed to losing his spot last year so maybe Crowley doesn’t rate him.

    Totally agree about Alosio, Crowley might think he has enough depth in the midfield.

    @Bones Theres some HOBM players in there see Laursen gets a go after being the 10 for the last 3-4 years

    Such obvious favouritism. Hopefully having most of the rest of the side littered with his HOBM teammates will help.

    😂 Still holding onto that.

    Squad laid out by position (obviously the Lions staff didn't get the "Inside backs" memo)

    @higgins He said he doesn’t want to play professionally as he wants to spend time with his family.

    Kirifi continues to prove how much of a douche he is

    Stuff has been told the 24-year-old Wellington flanker and the 23-year-old Northern Stars mid-courter hosted a gathering at their Porirua home last weekend, with at least four others, and attended a Sunday night gathering in Titahi Bay.
