An accurate operator from the base of the ruck, it was not surprising to see Culver called into the Turbos in 2019. His kicking and passing make a reliable option for the side to turn to.
Originally from Manawatu, Asi returned after his final year of high school. The mobile prop is devastating with ball in hand and an solid scrummager. Known by teammates as 'Panda'.
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.
Originally from Palmerston North Boys High School Hemopo opted to return to his roots in 2016 after a couple of seasons in Otago. The Highlanders lock had a break-out Super Rugby campaign in 2017 including a man-of-the-match performance against the British and Irish Lions. He was named the Turbos' player of the year in 2017.
