Counties v Northland
-
Apparently Hawkins is available for selection and will be selected to start at 10 due to Faiane not being part of the main squad...
Te Whata-Colley to get a start over Kearns (out of 23, unsure if injured) Mayanavanua to start in place of Caird who drops to bench, Hohaia at 12 and Matt Wright at the back, Matich drops from 23 too, again, no idea if injured as I think Goodhue was the only player listed as unavailable.
A few changes on the bench too, Gregory there but still under injury cloud apparently.

@taniwharugby said in Counties v Northland:

So is this a financial decision? I presume Hawkins is on a set amount and Wiseguy on per match payments?
-
@Duluth no idea, was something similar last year with someone else too.
Can't recall who
Although, still makes zero sense given Pryor has leapt over fully contracted players from the dev squad or WTG, whatever they calling it this year

interesting stat earlier, Northland have won 3 of thier last 30 away games...
-
man our defence on the outsides so suspect again.
-
not a good start by Kerr
-
but he was always connected to the maul?
-
nice t/o by Pryor
-
wow, that was a tough one
-
why did Ranger hold off on him, was always his man
-
fuck, Ranger almost lost that trying to off-load it
-
weight of possession telling there.
