Auckland rather embarrassingly missed out on the Air New Zealand Cup play-offs, after yesterday loss to Northland saw them finish 11th in the 14-team competition.

Auckland lost 17 players from last years title winning squad and Dalton says while you expect some defections after a World Cup, they do need to be financially competitive with overseas clubs....
