@African-Monkey Joe Royal 🫣
He'd be over 40 by now surely haha.

@African-Monkey just sent a message to a contact regarding Matt Moulds , hes been training with the Crusaders for the last 8 weeks as All Black injury cover and is due to be released with Cody Taylor back

Some chatter from the U20 game. Barrett has a broken hand
Confirmation -
The Blues medical team has confirmed that Beauden Barrett, who was forced out of the game at halftime, has suffered a hand fracture.
The injury requires ongoing assessment before determining details of treatment or time required for recovery.
We’ll update when we can

Could possibly be bought in as cover then if Mullan and Eklund are still out.

@African-Monkey had a very good season for the Taniwha last year is in very good shape
Getting on a bit but is experienced -

We could have a massive hooker crisis now.
I think they'll just trust Pole and Gordon. Emergency cover for a game day injury could be Ofa. He was cover earlier in the season too

How could you trust Pole? It's unfair on the bloke
Get Moulds in ASAP

I said that's what I think they'll do.
Cotter keeps making the comment about the next cab off the rank. I'd be surprised if someone who hasn't been working with the squad slots in ahead of people have been with the squad.
This week I think they should pick whoever throws the best at training. Even if that's Ofa
-
Do we have any info on the other injuries?
Dalton should be back this week and Perofeta is close apparently. BB will be out for a while and I guess we’ll find out if RR is a long term injury in the next couple of days
What about Eklund, Sullivan, Funaki, McWhannell, Choat, Mullan etc?

@Mr-Fish David Holwell has a son ironically a lock whos around 6’6 is in the Blues wider training squad
Sheesh, how tall is his missus?

@Canes4life they have played both the Chiefs and the Blues although the Blues had few out
Still I would rather be sitting where they are compared to where the Blues are sitting at the minute
Massive game coming up for Blues this weekend against your boys
Heard Kurt Eklund might be out again came back too soon against the Chiefs a couple of weeks back and re aggravated the groin strain he already have
Hopefully the extra week off might do the trick
