General Warriors Harold Matthews 2025

[Five&Last]

He's in the St Thomas' 1st XV squad for this coming season and no doubt be in their 1st XIII again too.
Do you think there would be a directive from the club that he doesn't play school footy?
He hasn't even played national 18s yet either, so I'd assume he'd go around for Canterbury again before the seasons out.

I don't see a single benefit of him playing any of that.

We have a pathways system now, lets use it. The Bishops of previous years wouldn't have had the opportunity to play against the best talent in Australia.

I agree with you, I just think it'll play out as I stated unless there is a directive from the club to do otherwise. It would be difficult in my opinion to manage playing Flegg alongside going to school in Christchurch.

17 in May.

Wth ..He must of been breastfeed Weetbix & Taro as a baby!? Lol. Gosh damn giant 16 year old.

I think it's a year too early for NSW cup. Let him play Flegg for the rest of the year. Then next year, he plays SG ball before transitioning to NSW cup.

Ahh, This is all I wanted to know. Which team he was eligible to keep playing for. Thank u bro.

He was playing 2nd Five last season ..

He probably skips ball next year & goes straight into Flegg similarly to what happened with Salalilo this year. He should debut by 27 alongside of Mikaele probably coming off the bench. Lemana will be competing with Tuaupiki for the fullback spot in 28. Although Lemana is younger than Pasikala his game is futher ahead of where Pasikala is.

Bishop at 8 for the St Thomas 1st XV.

Bishop at 8 for the St Thomas 1st XV.

Positional switch after previously playing in the mid field. While it would be great if he was playing Flegg, playing in a competitive 1st XV competition won't do him any harm & the combinations in the team will help St Thomas' attempt at a 3 peat at National SS league tournament later in the year

Neal signed with us until 2028. Glad we get to keep him.

Good to see we are keeping talent from outside of Auckland too with Seu Salalilo and Tafua - both look promising for us & progressing well

Promising South Island players locked in until 2028

One New Zealand Warriors lock in Makaia Tafua, Jason Salalilo and Bishop Neal until 2028.
