Fraser Armstrong left Auckland to link up with the Manawatu Turbos in 2015. The young prop played for the NZ schools and under-20 side. His consistent performances for the Turbos saw him rewarded with a Hurricanes contract in 2018.
Wyness was on the fringe of the Turbos for three seasons before getting the call up in 2018. The talented kicker and deceptively dangerous ball carrier is a fixture in the Feilding Yellows. Injury robbed him of chance to play in 2018, but he was signed again in 2019.
The powerful Fijioan prop moved to Manawatu in 2019 immediately making a strong impression with his scrummaging and mobility around the park.
The strong ball carrying loosse froward arrived from Counties Manukau in 2019 to add some depth to the loose forward trio. He has the added benefit of being able to cover lock.
