As mentioned elsewhere SBW is injured. The Blues have confirmed Hepetema will start

Interesting to note that he will be starting while full squad member Faiane is on the bench.

Also interesting to see full squad member Nanai is not in the 23 whilst Tumua Manu is starting.

I think Tana is sending messages to the likes of Nanai and Faiane.

Like "move to another franchise" (or overseas)?

Yes essentially. I know Nanai is signed for another year but Umaga has been talking up Papali'i's attitude this week meanwhile you've got full squad members not being picked.

Really wondering if I can be bothered heading down in the rain to see a weak Blues side.

FML?

Your report is good value. You can do it.

Looks like I'm taking one for the team.

@nzzp If I could pay forward a beer I would.

well, the weather looks like it'll be horrific, and one of the boys is sick, but I'm going to womble down anyway. Not sure there will be many there - QB weekend, the rebels, shit weather and a poor team to support. This coudl be a new low for the franchise.

Fuck Tana Umaga.

Steven Harris

Can we at least get one try from a lineout drive..?,this season that is..!

Tim

What happened to Papalii?

98blueandgold

Two times in 22 and they look dangerous. Blues having all the play. Confusing to watch

KiwiMurph

@tim looked like an ankle.

Blues are an absolute shambles.

African Monkey

@98blueandgold Rebels look like scoring every time they get in our half and we look clueless when we have it. This could get ugly for the Blues.

Steven Harris

He was replaced,looked like a leg injury of some sort,had to be supported off the field..not looking good for the Blues,without a couple of their guns,makes me puck to think that Reiko is sitting in the stand after a fucking bye week

Gunner

And that clean out is somehow ok but Squires (non) swinging arm last night was not.

The game is fucked when it comes to refereeing and the consistency of the rulings. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Not a fan of the ref.

What he said

Steven Harris

@booboo you got that right,Briant has missed a couple of clear mistakes,how Tamanis pass that was thrown forward leading up to the rebels try has got me beat ..

African Monkey

@booboo He's fucken hopeless. Almost as bad as the Blues team.

taniwharugby

Blues really are in a dark place

Machpants

What happened to Pulu, every ruck is a resting place, every kick awful - no chasers there, even tho the blues had half an hour to see he was doing the kick?
I'm talking about the aggressive Pulu who got an ABs call up a few years ago
