@Kiwidom Reon Paul too. Has James Arscott signed anywhere?

[Kiwidom]

@Tim Good spot, forgot about those two. No idea on their whereabouts for 2026 as yet

[handa457]

@Tim feel like someone on here last month was saying Arscott to Blues WTG. But no idea of the accuracy of the statement.

[Kiwidom]

@handa457 There was a rumour on the fern that Josh Renton got the half back spot in the blues WTG also

[sparky]

No one off to R360 straight away then?

[ARHS]

Looking out for Jacob Norris, Xavier Tracey, Dylan Eti, Lucas Casey, Jack Wiseman, Charlie Sinton in wtgs.

A couple of those should be NDC players, which I assume is separate to the WTG.

Gibson Popoali’i from Counties Manukau must be one of the unluckiest players not to have made any of either the main or wider squads
Had the best stat for beating players in the 2025 Bunnings Npc
59 defenders beaten
I did hear the Blues were looking at him
Also Le Roux Malan thought played very well the Magpies ..
Anyone else can anyone think of .?

@Steven-Harris signed in France for USM Montauban -

@Daffy-Jaffy makes sense the money would be way better than a WTG or possibly super

[Bovidae]

Ryan Coxon would have been a handy addition to a WTG. SR experience (not with the Force now), so maybe has an overseas contract.

@Daffy-Jaffy This reds squad is pretty stacked. 3 decent 10s to choose from.

[Tim]

Would have been nice to get the NDC player lists too.

They are usually announced prior to December so assuming over the next week or so.

Would be cool if they unveiled the jerseys on squad announcement day.

@chu84 The Blues site shop is down and says -

"Rebuild in progress...Stay tuned for new shop and 2026 range launch coming at the end of November"
