No different from the old days when tours of 20 games or more were common. Players would sometimes play six or seven games in a row ie midweek then weekend rinse and repeat when injuries struck the squad.

feels strange seeing Jamie booth against the Turbos

Duluth

Li looking sharp

Is he going back to Japan or is he trying to get an NZ SR contract again?

Torian

Slick from Stevenson and nice Tevita li! I'm a happy guy 🤑

It's tough eh. What a start to the season

taniwharugby

@nzzp that makes a huge difference, confidence is massive

African Monkey

@Duluth I thought he wanted to play for Japan eventually??

taniwharugby

Still has some gas!

Torian

@African-Monkey aren't those who are playing in the Japan comp for 2023 already over there for pre season? hence Bryn Hall not in npc

taniwharugby

Dunno about the PT, looked like 2 probable defenders, but for once I agree he had no show of getting that.

Dice

We've got U20 Tevita Li today.
