    @Steven-Harris said in Blues 2018:

    @KiwiMurph I spoke to Enari's dad at the airport a few weeks back,he had looked both Auckland & Canterbury as possible options for his son,after seeing both set ups,It was'nt even a contest..he did'nt have to say to much,it was written all over his face.

    That sums it up completely. What the actual heck are Auckland rugby doing?

    So in a region that is low on quality midfielders and halfbacks - elite talent in these positions come out the region and go elsewhere - you would think that would be the catalyst for change.

    Auckland rugby, like the Warriors, is broken as an organisation. There is a need for a total culture change and they would do well to copy aspects of the Saders Way. I wonder if Mark Hammett is free?

    Hopefully he'll be an upgrade on White.

    I wonder if Charlie McAlister has too much baggage for the job? He was a disaster in Manawatu, but he's won club championships on both sides of the bridge.

    University looked very well coached in the final. Cam Mather played for Harbour and Scotland, and was a coach at Glasgow Warriors.

    Mils and Scotty Stevenson said on their podcast that Matt Vaega hasn't got a Super Rugby contract yet.

    Blues sign him up!

    The Short Ball with Scotty & Mils - The Mascot

    The Short Ball with Scotty & Mils - The Mascot

    Scotty and Mils give an honest review of South Africa's shocking performance over the weekend then call in Andrew Mehrtens for his take on the game. More importantly, a comprehensive analysis of the Mitre 10 Cup team mascots is undertaken.

    @tim boggles the mind that he got pretty much zero gametime this season.

    @kiwimurph So we play each NZ team twice, but don't play the Brumbies or Bulls.

    @kiwimurph Yep, we now have eight of them.

    It's weird, given that they could've stayed with six, and played all the foreign teams.

    That's because the Blues backline like 4 letter words to shout at their halfbacks.

    @kiwimurph do you have a link to that? I'd like to see their calculation method.

    I guess that simply put it is strength of teams on playing schedule but you really need to factor in travel, when your travel period is, who you have to play when you return etc etc.

    Either way the Blues seem to be always copping a very hard road and copping a lot of shit partly for being in the strongest conference.
