Blues 2025

Duluth

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

Duluth

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?

Sheesh, how tall is his missus?

Steven Harris

@Nepia not that tall tbf

Nogusta

@Duluth Funaki opted not to go under the knife but try and rehab the shoulder - 8 week return time-frame if all goes well
Think already mentioned but Sullivan likely out of SR with lisfranc injury

george33

Been told Sullivan out for another 4-5 weeks all going well.

Duluth

Sometimes the jerseys at training are an indication of the 23..

Dalton back as expected. Perofeta back as well.. do they ease him back off the bench? Is that Taele in a blue jersey too?

Duluth

Anyone heard what Riccitelli’s injury and prognosis is?

I see his injury is listed as “chest”

Riccitelli has injury around the collar bone hopefully only 2- 3, weeks and Zarn Sullivan is out of his moon boot, and Sotutu available against Crusaders.

Duluth

Good to see them put out a list with dates

I hope the season is still alive in 4-6 weeks. At least there’s a bye during that time

Steven Harris

@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

Grooter

@Steven-Harris yeah Vernon Bason is now training with the Blues

Duluth

george33

Think
Patty will be available., he told me 2 weeks.
Times up
