@Stargazer i knew he was off to MLR, but interesting that says former Northland lock, my understanding was he had re-signed, maybe it didn't workout :man_shrugging: shame if he isn't back, he is a very good npc player.

@taniwharugby Maybe he has? A lot of NPC players come back in the MLR off season.

@taniwharugby I agree with @African-Monkey. I wouldn't read to much in the wording they use.

He didn't play NPC in 2022, did he?

Not sure where news of this has been publicised other than on clubrugby.co.nz but google search is not that helpful at this point in time

He definitely doesn’t look like a rugby prop anymore. All the best too him, I’m sure he will go well in league.

I don't remember him, but prop Sam Davies has signed with Rugby New York.
@Stargazer He's pretty young, only 20. This was his first year of NPC.

Former Northland halfback Will Grant (an Aussie) has signed with Toronto Arrows. According to their media release, he's eligible for Canada.

Taranaki prop Kyle Stewart has re-signed with Old Glory DC.

@Stargazer At this rate are there going to be any NPC players left in NZ to fill in any Super Rugby injury replacements?

@Higgins Not many! What's left is probably NPC third-stringers and recent school leavers from provincial academy squads, some of whom will appear in the Super Rugby U20 comp!

Anyone know who's in the Canes WTG? I'm assuming guys like Siale Lauaki, Harry Godfrey, Raymond Tuputupu who performed well for the Hurricanes Under 20s.

I have not known too much about some of the "trumpeted" signings announced so some of the guys signing for the MLR are not exactly household name NPC starters anyway.

Announced about a week ago:
Alex Fidow has signed with Souths Logan Magpies. Because I don't know anything about league below NRL level, I had to look that up. It's a club based in the south of Brisbane that plays in the Queensland Cup. Is that a feeder comp for the NRL? Any connection with the Broncos? Are they fully professional?

️EXCITING NEWS️️
Alex Fidow has signed with the Souths Logan Magpies for 2023!
Former Junior All Black and current Wellington Hurricanes Super Rugby prop Alex Fidow is joining the Magpies in 2023!!
The 25 year old is looking to make the transition from rugby and sees the opportunity to work with dual international Magpies Coach Karmichael Hunt as the perfect opportunity.
We look forward to watching this damaging ball runner wear the famous Black & White, he will definitely become a cult hero amongst our supporters in 2023.
