From her Instagram post at the end of the season she's done with league, and will be back to 7s.

Who knows the future?

Why? Is the pay that bad?

Huge signings, but am I right in thinking we're still missing some key pieces - we didn't re-sign either of our hookers from last year, and haven't signed any replacement as of yet.

We still have Capri Paekau, who started 7 times last season. We let go Turua-Quidley and Carmont who were also used at hooker.
So yeah, defitiniely thinking someone else will be signed.
Cam George said on radio last week there were one or two more signings to come (Waaka being the one)

Alternatively, I could someone like Paki being useful at hooker, since she unlikely to crack the backline now
