    News Mitch Woods impressing in pre season

    Agree I think Cassias Tia has probably jumped him in the pecking order based on the eye test. Tia has the advantage of being a big body so could also become a 13. Oneil is a half. Could maybe transition into a 9 like JMK/Flanno as he seems to be pretty fit.

    Canterbury have signed 21-year-old Warriors prop Zyon Maiu’u, effective immediately.

    We have the trials. We have the luxury of being able to rest players for the trials this year so they all these sorts of players will get plenty of game time. Max King was able to force his way into the team through the trials in 22, Salmon last year. So if he comes out and does what Max King...
