    <p>I don't know where Wellington's head is at by letting all these guys go. Henry Stowers (Under 20s 2015) and Teariki Ben Nicholas have also been dejected from the Capital recently. Adam Hill has also gone from last year. This means that Blackwell, Shields, Savea and Fifita are our only loose forwards with Savea likely to be included in the All Blacks.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Do you know anyone coming through the system Higgins?</p>

    <p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">There are a number or good players plying their trade in club rugby but whether they are capabale of making it at Mitre10 cup level remains to be seen. Luke Tau’alupe (Ories), Greg Foe (Poneke), Mateaki Kafatolu (Petone – but seems to have injury problems) have looked the best of the No 8s I have seen so far this season. Matt Peni (MSP) is also making a comeback from some major injury that kept him out last season but needs to trim a bit of weight before becoming a serious contender.  </span></p>
    <p><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;"> </span></p>
    <p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">I keep hearing good things about Mitchell Markov (Upper Hutt) at openside but have not seen him play this season, could be a good replacement for Pau Halafihi who seems to have disappeared over to Aussie (he had some sort of major shoulder injury the last time I was talking to him). Seem to recall Markov being a bit on the short side when I saw him last (about three seasons ago).</span></p>
    <p><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;"> </span></p>
    <p><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Arial, sans-serif;">On the blindside I have been quite impressed by the Hutt Old Boys guy, Lui Okeamoa-Luamanu, but he will need to lift his work rate a bit. Kane Leaupepe (Ories) has been going good at lock in the two games I have seen him but he has also played blindside as well. Both these guys are big physical specimens.</span></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;">None of these are “schoolboy wonders” coming through the system so I guess they will all miss out to some guy straight out of school yet to prove himself against open grade players. I will see what I can find out about from "those in the know" about these boy wonders over a few beers next Saturday night (will probably be at Poneke v Wellington).</span></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><span style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;">You must remember there are only a certain number of players required for each position and if you have six or seven good guys you sadly cannot fit them all into your squad hence the Wellington fish heads must have something up their sleeves if they are letting those players you named depart.</span></p>

    <p>Early indications are that A Savea, J Savea, Vito, Jane, and Chris Eves have missed selection for the game against the Reds. More news to come shortly.</p>

    <p>That is some next level dumb stuff from Ardie especially. Quits 7s to push for an AB spot in a few weeks - is in a very tight race with Matt Todd and then goes and breaks curfew.....</p>

    <p>Really stupid from Ardie, even I agree he had the inside running for the ABs spot.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Matt Todd will be happy to hear the news</p>

    <p>Savea's/Eves - young and stupid.</p>
    <p>Vito - 'fuck it' I'm off anyway</p>
    <p>But Jane? Shouldn't he as a senior guy who really needs to be playing his cards right to stay on the field be a better influence on these fellas?</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Good job dropping them, will be an interesting one against the reds, still picking a win</p>

    <p>The article says it was the Tuesday before the Sharks match. If it was the night before I'd hope for a heck of a lot worse punishment than one game</p>

    <p>I obviously didn't read it properly...not like this is the first time Jane has been out before a game.</p>

    <p>Could be a larger than usual crowd out at the Hutt Rec on Saturday to watch Hutt Old Boys play Oriental-Rongotai given the possibility of the Savea brothers being available for selection for the visiting team.</p>

    <p>So it was Tuesday night, but they are dropped for this weeks match vs the Reds, not last week's vs the Sharks.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>A rather selective punishment.</p>

    <p>They were on tour before, so wouldn't have had a lot of players to fill in, and it likely would have been quite disruptive trying to deal with the issue in the lead up to a big game. I think it makes sense that the punishment occurs this week.</p>

    <p>Yeah - he's given Matt back the half-step he lost at the weekend - and possibly plenty more.</p>

    <p>Doesn't sound like there was a whole lot to it, tbh. One week off is probably fair.</p>

    There usually isn't much too it in the eye of a fan....<br><br>
    Sounds like it was serious enough to warrant a game suspension to send a message to the rest of the group that this sort of behaviour won't go unpunished.
