Maybe that other date is to present the entire roster + sponsors with their ‘26 jerseys as as bit of a club ‘love in’ event. The Pac Champs players will be on leave but maybe can come in for the...

Godinet & Taupau-Moors on T&T onto dev deal in '27 is a step in the right direction for the club giving contracts to unproven 18yos.
