    @Billsy111 I hope it's not true. That's a Kurt Baker type signing all over again! Who would he be replacing?

    @Stargazer That I don't know, but he does create a lot of opportunities.

    @Stargazer I don't think he's a Kurt Baker kind of signing. He doesn't give away stupid penalties, and doest react when provoked. I actually think he would add a lot to that backline.

    Third player announcement: Kienan Higgins.

    Can't get excited about this signing, but I guess they signed him for 2 years, last year.

    @Number-10 I hoped Cooper Flanders would make the squad. Maybe not allowed because of NZ U20s? On the hand, Harry Godfrey is in the squad. Can't imagine Godfrey not making the NZ U20s, although the differnce may be that Godfrey is a signed Magpie.

    I hope the HBRU are going to post a proper team sheet with numbers, so I don't have to try to figure it out myself haha. Don't know all the players, so don't know what their positions are. I guess I'll have a closer look at the past weeks' club team lists ...

    By the way, the fourth player announcement for this year's Magpies squad isn't unexpected: Jason Long.

    Can someone fill me in with details of these players who I can't recall seeing play or can't recall who they play for please?

    @Higgins

    Josiah Sakaria (MAC) is a good winger, first year out of Hastings Boys.

    Jonty Stewart is a 2nd-year Academy player who last year made the Hurricanes U20 (but hardly got minutes). A 10/fullback. Before that, he was the Feilding HS 1st XV captain.

    Don't know much about Paora Manuel-Harmon, except that he's a back out of Poverty Bay.

    Bayden Papuni (Havelock North) is a lock/loosie, who attended Hastings Boys. Not sure when.

    Damien Scott is a loosie who plays for your own club haha. He's been around for a while. Has repped the Bay in sevens.

    That team line-up can also be found in the article below.

    Also from that article:

    ... with Jacob Devery, also 23, expected to be out for the season through injury ...

    That's embarrassing but we have about six good loosies so might not have taken notice of the names of who was actually on the field at all times in the four Premier games I have watched. I did see a tall skinny young guy in the Tech clubrooms tonight wearing Havelock No 1s so that might have been Papanui. Not sure he played in the game though.

    @kiwimatrix Why wouldn't Makene come back? Players often come back from stints in the MLR. Same with other Magpies playing in the MLR: Namatahi Waa, Dennon Robinson-Bartlett and Lolani Faleiva. Maybe not O'Connor, who may or may not be considering retirement.

    Paora Manuel-Harmon played for Pirates and the HB Development team last year before he played for Poverty Bay on loan.

    @Stargazer You would think they would need to be back soon,it's 2 months till it starts they would need minimum 3 weeks training together and probably 2 warmup games.
