Been a bit of movement - think that this is what we have - of course you may know different - please feel free to add so that this can be updated - frankly I'm overwhelmed by the depth - Also wish to know how many we can have in a squad ?

i thought drew was signed on a three year deal like gits, but if he stays til 2010 that will be better. not that he would be allowed to leave!
tatupu is signed til 2008, does anyone know if he is getting another contract or leaving?
Tyler Edwards could be Ryan Tyrell ? he was mentioned in the article about Tai last week hoping you folks could give the answers.
Robyn you are correct DrewBoy is off contract in 2009
Super14.com - Super 14 rugby
squad consists of 33 players
IMHO our greatest loss is Jimmy Hilgendorf of those who have left us.
Here's hoping big Pat O'Connor (POC??) can get a full season in, I still rate his debut form.
There's going to be a flurry of activity towards the end of the season, plenty of names coming to renegotiation!
Is Peter Staniforth supposed to be Richard Stanford? On channel 10 Tai mentioned Ben Whittaker (who is 20 or so) as a hooker too.
I think a handful of these guys are senior apprentices still in 2009 (Turner, Longbottom, Haylett-Petty etc) so it'd probably make a round 30 before the marquees. I'm in the process of trawling through all of the Currie Cup and ANZC possibilities to get a bit of an idea who they'll bring in. I have too much time on my hands.
justin turner is 18 im pretty sure
i thought so. i would have prefered 2010, but drew will still be here then. for sure :) he wouldn't allowed to leave even if he wanted to!
i don't understand clarke's contract at all... so since he was injured his contract was postponed a year and starts with s14 09? thats the message i get, but then he would be player number 35! he sat in my block at subi once, he was lovely. didn't mind my shouting at all, so i tried to shout polietly just for his sake. i thought he was going to be the goods. injuries are stupid!
na hes going back to nz im pretty sure
justin turner and ben Ben Whittaker i think are level 1 academy players. so they train with the force but arent on the main players list. This was where longbottom and chucky were last year.
I think Lara needs a bigger signature :P
:offtopic:
me to:P
Cheers for that - are there any other Level 1 Academy players ?Quote:

the squad size is only allowed to be 33, some of those players you mentioned like DHP might still be in the academy or something like that
Speaking of Staniforths, is Nigel still with the academy? His form for Sydney Uni showed he probably had the goods to player S14.Quote:

Level 2: Kieran Longbottom (Level 1 trial), James Stannard (Level 1 trial), Valeni Tiatia, Ben Whittaker.
Level 3: Cruze Ah-Nau (prop), Zac Holmes (flyhalf, centre), Tom Murday (flanker), Angus Nielson (flanker), Brendan O’Dea (prop), Mark Schmidt (number 8), Darren Van Wyk (centre).
nigel staniforth is playing in france for bourg en bresse and has had a good start playing all 7 games
Is Zac the little brother of Luke ?
Getting confused about where Lachlan McKay is - anyone know the name of the club
Found link about who Nigel is playing for however this club doesn't seem to have an actual website :
Athletic Union Bressane Pays de lAin - Wikipedia
Another Link:
Union Sportive Bressane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't think so I think Luke's only brother is Josh Holmes from the Brumbies. I think Zac has posted messages on here once or twice in the past. He's about 18 or 19 or something.Quote:
