NPC 2025

Think Lima Sopoaga is finished in Japan so could pick up an NPC contract (and wouldn't be a bad SR squaddie).

This might be an interesting read:

This was definitely interesting:
Yet, despite fears from some provincial unions about its direction, the Star-Times understands the report endorsed the NPC as the best player development option for NZ Rugby in its current structure, supporting arguments that have been made by NPC champions such as Taranaki coach Neil Barnes.

Sopoaga looked to be carrying some extra weight when he was a surprise addition to the Suburbs Presidents team last year. I'm sure Cruden said he intends to play again this year.

I see that the first Ranfurly Shield challenge is this Wed. Some SR players are straight into action. Free entry for the locals to celebrate the fully reopened Stadium Taranaki.
Ranfurly Shield Team Update
Unfortunately Obey Samate has been ruled out with injury. Jack Parker steps into the 23 jersey and will be in line to make his Yarrows Taranaki Bulls debut. -
Wellington will be playing all their home games at Porirua Park this season. Went there for the Wellington v Taranaki match one cold wet Sunday last year for $10.00 but this year it looks like they have ramped up their GA price to $24.00 per game if their sale price for season tickets ($120.00) is anything to go by. No doubt there will probably be an admin fee lumped on top of that for those purchasing match tickets at the gate on the day.

It's still the same price point as it was in the early 2000s, they need to get up with the times.

So who is Miracle Faiʻilagi going to play for? One of the greater Auckland teams I assume.

What an absolute battler of a signing. Would be a Ryan Martin special. Renton would have played under him at Otago Boys

@SouthernMann we lost our 2nd and 3rd halfbacks from last season, so I'm comfortable with it, while a few talented kids coming through, they are young and relatively new to prem footy let alone npc
Need someone to pressure Nock
