#KiwiNRL Encyclopedia: 2017/18 New Years Stylez

Haere mai

As NRL teams take a break from their summer training, I've put together a special summer version of the #KiwiNRL Encyclopedia. This is strictly based off of the players listed on each team's website, so there will be younger players and fringe players who are not included. I have sussed the players' junior club/region as best as I can. I've also excluded the Warriors and will do them separately. Hit an ad if you appreciate the #KiwiNRL funk.
