        Wouldn't be the worst SOS in the world.

                    @Canes4life Very surprised the Lions did’nt look at Wairarapa Bush hooker Bruce Kauika Peterson who has been a stand out in heartland rugby this year
                    also lets not forget hes played 2 season with Northland and has a handful of games for Wellington
                    Its a great storyline for Hika Elliot but i personally think it would have been an even better storyline for a heartland team thats part of the Canes franchise.

                      Was Hika playing hooker at SC? I read he sometimes played flanker. He looked in good condition when I saw him running the line for the Chiefs U18s.

                        Or if the NPC was a rep competition they could pick the next best hooker out of Wellington club rugby

                          Pretty sure most of them are unavilable. O'Reilly, Poasa, Aumua (with ABs), Press, Tuiloma and Gaulalofa are all injured.

                            It's not that simple if the club players haven't been playing for 2 months. TTT ended up on the bench for Waikato in the 2021 NPC final for the same reason.

                              yet another piece of evidence to show how our structure makes no sense

                                Wellington did something similar for their semi-final v HB last year when they brought in Morgan Mitchell on loan from Southland.

                                      I always liked Hika Elliot and thought that he was another one who was treated rottenly by the All Blacks. Anyway, welcome to the Lions!

                                        Why, because Mealamu and Hore were better players than him? And Henry and co thought Flynn was a better thrower?

                                        On par with AdM and both got about the same opportunity given who were ahead of them.
