Papali'i is the incumbent & he still averaged 102m this year in a wooden spoon team with a revolving door of halves & Centres either side of him

Another dummy half. Yet to debut in Q Cup though & my estimate is he's 19 years old. No indication as what type of contract

31st Super League game for him this season this weekend & named at Fullback for Hull KR's Semi. Love him in the #1. 4 wins from 5 there for the Kiwis, including x2 W's over the Kangaroos, & the same record for the Warriors (only loss with 12-13 on ANZAC Day in Melbourne) .

Maybe the jokes gone over my head but Katoa ain't a Kiwi. He's already spent longer living in Australia than he ever did in NZ.

Obviously dollars & cents are the deciding factor on whether or not to sign Nikora but I don't get why people bag him. Barnett & AFB were our only regular offloaders in 2024 & with AFB leaving if Nikora could replicate this years 25 offloads & 10 tries it would be a godsend. The fact he always...

🤣 just for the love of the game. I've helped 3 Christchurch based players prepare & they reckon they are the least resourced team there. No manager & physio either as it's all self funded. The Taliban support the cricketers but Rugby doesn't feature on their radar

The Asia Rugby Emirates Sevens Trophy kicks off on October the 4th in Kathmandu, Nepal & Slaimankhel will be player/coach of the Afghanistan team

15 starts at Prop vs 8 at Second Row probably counted against Barnett despite most of those backrow games featuring minutes in the middle

AFB will be missed but the optimist in me thinks losing him & gaining JFH will be a net positive. AFB might've run for about 50 more metres pg in 2024 but he also played an extra 13'ish more minutes. JFH's minutes will likely increase under Webster so that 50m difference will likely end of more...

According to The Mole, Jacob Laban made the NSW Cup competitions Team of the Year. Adam Cook got Halfback of the Year https://x.com/9_Moley/status/1840214124334297342?t=mM_iWvYiUuKhv5PsPQqSNw&s=19

No SG Ball for him this year, due to what I believe was a ban for referee abuse in 2023, but he did represent NSW Combined Independent Schools at the Australian 2024 18 Years Championships. 4 games at Centre & 4 tries

Wee Clip & Climb session with the niece & nephew this morning. If grip strength truely is an indicator of mortality then I'm headed for an early grave. On the positive side I feel like Popeye

Granted it's only a SG Ball signing but good to see a kid from Dunedin in the pipeline who has grown up as a fan https://www.sporty.co.nz/sirl/newsarticle/145954?newsCarouselId=1579348

Crept up on me but I'm on track to do 500,000 steps this month if I can stay active for the next 2 days 💪 Off to start the Abel Tasman next Sunday so I should be reasonably well prepared

Infrared Sauna & plunge pool with the Mrs tonight. Been a long time since I've had a sauna. Good return for doing bugger all. Might have to do it more often

Yeah would assume so. Both played NZA last year. If my memory is correct then ZDC was the 7 & Roache 14 (Levi at 9). ZDC's ability to play 13 might give him the edge

He seems like a genuine #7 & will either be given, or earn himself a gig elsewhere. Another year under SJ would have been the ideal pathway but either Webster didn't see him as SJ's heir or Volkman got impatient. Zero games in 2024 to go along with some lean/covid interrupted years in 2022 (13...

I like the guy & if he was SJ's understudy this year I'd probably still be high on him for 2025 but with what has occured & our mix of halves I wouldn't be chasing him. He may have a 3W-2L record but one of those wins was in our homecoming against the hapless Tigers & in another he was hooked...

39.1 mins (101.4m pg) in a losing side, & in one of these games he started at Second Row & ran for his fewest metres all year. 38.6 mins (104m pg) across the entire season.

There's sure to be a dummy half option on a Development contract for us (Aloua/Laiman/Tafua) in 2025, like Sommerton was for the Panthers this year too, so options are a plenty
