@chris after losing Nareki im even more gutted Otago didn't pick him up

See how he goes that knee injury may be a problem, big gamble I think.

@chris really? didnt think they would need to take a gamble, normally seem to have someone young coming through

Not a lot coming through on the wing apart from maybe Tavatavanawai from Tasmen.
I heard the reason Canterbury offered Naholo a contract was to have a look at him as a SR Option,That's if he delivers for Canterbury.

TK Howden at 6 for the Turbos looks like one to keep an eye on.

Brett Cameron has outplayed Burke thus far aswell.

Fihaki has looked dangerous for the Cantabs.

@tim he looks like a dominating presence out there. Superb in the lineout, dominant in the tackle.

Looks like a superb athlete.
