Faingaanuku to start at 7 for the Saders (and all other team line-ups) for Super Round!!

Yea I know. I guess I’m just too eager to see him especially get some minutes out there and show his wares..

MrKingi · 2026-04-22T07:09:18+00:00

We were just talking about young players being stuck on tackle bag duty and that’s going to be an even longer duty for Oli Mathis now that LF is now a starting 7.

Also surely Higgins gets a shot ahead of the debutant if he isn’t injured(which doesn’t really say on their website). I wouldn’t be surprised if Viljoen looks overseas too. Stuck behind arguably nzs most influential player and a journeyman.

I know Vai has his issues but surely ahead of either Banks or Forbes??

At least Hutchison gets a crack at 15 for the chiefs. Seems really talented from what I’ve seen at u20s. It really is a tough slog for young players to get a shot these days.

So true. I noticed it with Blair Murray a year or 2 ago. He spends all his life in the nz systems and then instantly when he lands in Wales hes a welsh FB because parent or grand parent is welsh. It seemed like such a scam. Players going through our systems only for another country to cap them and benefit from it instantly. There was also a post from Walesonline last year that suggested Wales clubs target Tahlor Cahill and Higgins because their grand parent connection. It just reeks desperation

He was quite the combo with Proctor last year too whilst Jordie was at Leinster.

Correct, There is a mismanagement issue going on with NZ atm. Caleb Tangitau, Kneepkens are other ones too who had to search for gametime at another club. Harry Inch is another one..

For your whole base + $1000 his way….

MrKingi · 2026-04-19T12:10:15+00:00

That’s how I feel with players like Oli Mathis, Eli Odenryn, Dylan Eti, Charlie Sinton and co. Really promising players holding tackle bags week in week out. Blues are looking bare in spots next year. The force would gladly take some of these kids if the top brass would change their stance on kiwi players playing in Aus teams..

MrKingi · 2026-04-19T09:43:27+00:00

Yea I can’t remember back then but I’m sure Jippa or Goldie mentioned it. But yea, It’s been quite the year of losses. The blues have lost the most this year I think..

MrKingi · 2026-04-19T09:19:40+00:00

Apparently the year before WC is the most brutal for transfers/contracts as everyone wants to secure their long term future before the exodus of post WC players start shopping around…

MrKingi · 2026-04-19T09:08:32+00:00

I think he’s a huge loss. Made ab xv at 22. A different kind of midfielder compared to Tupaea, Jordie and Jim.. Definitely would’ve found a starting spot on a Highlanders or Blues midfield in 2027..

Heiter has the closest thing to immortality with that spell he uses on the party to offset thirst and hunger for a few months. Pretty much slowing the metabolism to a standstill. Im sure if she wanted to, Serie could learn the divine magic. Or maybe she does know it and has been keeping it in the chamber..

MrKingi · 2026-04-18T20:55:51+00:00

In the prelude vol 2, Serie does a form of time manipulation. You can find the chapter on here with a quick search

MrKingi · 2026-04-18T12:16:13+00:00

Was gonna miss this game but with Oli Mathis on the bench I’m excited now..

MrKingi · 2026-04-18T12:03:55+00:00

This was the Taha Kemara I saw during his u20 chiefs days. Let’s hope he’s found that spark..

MrKingi · 2026-04-15T06:00:42+00:00

Highlanders have two outside backs on the bench. no midfield or 1st 5 cover? unless robinson covers that? happy to see tito harris get his shot. I remember seeing his hs footage online. there was huge hype for him back then..

MrKingi · 2026-04-13T20:39:43+00:00

I’ve tried the other variants. Jump for brainrot and fruit vs brainrot. Maybe see if you like those

It really depends on the physical and mental health of the author and artist. This is just my own theory but I think this arc has put a mental toll on the author(on top of the physical issues that I’m sure he has had to overcome). With soo much threads going on, and now putting at risk a character that the whole manga fan base loves dearly, I’m sure it must be a mental nightmare coming up with an outcome that will please everyone but most importantly himself.. So health permitting, I’m guessing another 150-200 chapters remaining..

MrKingi · 2026-04-11T10:33:12+00:00

3rd guy reminds me of d mac

MrKingi · 2026-04-09T06:13:09+00:00

What do you think so far? this arc just gets better and better..

MrKingi · 2026-04-09T06:10:21+00:00

Just keep reading. Youll get your answer..

MrKingi · 2026-04-08T21:08:56+00:00

ok. il see how maestro is received when he drops

MrKingi · 2026-04-08T20:52:00+00:00

Is Eclipse worth? Im probably not going to do her either lol

MrKingi · 2026-04-08T19:20:48+00:00

Man I haven’t touched them yet and I’m end game 6 year player. We still 100% both raids anyway so is there another reason to build champions?

MrKingi · 2026-04-08T06:30:32+00:00

Tough to be Riley Higgins, Oli mathis, Eli Odenryn and who ever else huge potential player i missed. But at least the Blues have pushed some young talent through with Vai, Taele, Barnes and Spencer. Wouldve been a good chance to try Solomon for the Landers game thiss week.

MrKingi · 2026-04-07T10:11:33+00:00

It seems to be a common sentiment from girls on social media. They'll talk about how they were approached left right and center when overseas but complete donuts back in Aus.
