While listening to the excellent Point of Difference league podcast (would be a great show to have on SKY) with Frank Endacott as a guest, he mentioned that while the Christchurch bid is working away behind the scenes, the NRL have forbid them to discuss publicly where they are at, including...
A great article on Jerohme Hughes and his beginnings as a fullback to the best in the business in 2024.
Andrew Webster please take note 😉

I was listening to an interview with a leading international CEO recently who had a fantastic mantra as a leader in the business, ‘Lift as you Climb’ - I’m like you Hornbybrown, JFH will set great minimum standards as a leader and demand more from individuals who don’t realise they can be...
I really believe we will sign Leo Thompson. We currently have very senior players at the back end of their careers and raw potential with a smattering of first grade but nothing in between.
This signing would ensure over the next 2/4 years you have a settled and established front row combo...
I can understand a brand refresh once you are a fair way down the road , but at the moment this car is up on jacks.
For me the logo is a backward design from the original, a bit scattergun and not a clear identifier commercially.
It would be great to see an annual secondary schools championship game featuring the national champs of both NZ & Australian school sides maybe as a curtain raiser to an NRL finals game.
It would be a great barometer of the continued development of the game in NZ, especially when you hear so...
I agree, apart from finding a new club.
I was genuinely excited when he came through and had high hopes.
It would be nice to see him start a game and let Walker sub on for impact which he did do well last season.
WEVE FOUND HIM!
Call off the dogs, for all those who had shared their concern for the whereabouts of man mountain and next Big’ thing - Solomon Vasuvalagi last season ( mostly me and Cces to be fair) …to my surprise, he’s magically appeared today playing for a well beaten Akarana side vs...
It’s good to see the club being proactive in merch development. I remember having a convo with Cam George a number of years ago about the opportunities they had in this area they were not taking advantage of.
He did say at the time they were in some respects hamstrung at that time by NRL...
Oregon Kaufusi - Mutual Option with the Sharks for next season. Good age at 25 Years old, and a fair build -, 1.88m / 114kgs. Looks bigger than that on the box.
You have to envy the money available to potential Australian bids v anything out of NZ. I wonder if Sir Owen Glen might like to channel his philanthropic ventures towards the Christchurch bid. 🫶🏾
I’d have Geronimo Doyle at 6 and put Hansen on the bench. I think he offers more in attack and could unlock the athleticism of our back rowers.
Hopefully a better effort on D this week.
Should be a cracker of a game.
