MMac is off contract, isn't he?
That can be the only reason, as his replacement. So no chance for Fletcher Smith then.

He’s probably already locked in those 3 spots from the Auckland 1st XV competition. 😝
Seriously though, I don’t think many of the Northland guys would’ve done their chances any good. Might have been a few from the opposition that he was looking at though..

Jack Debreczeni has been signed by the chiefs.
As a Blues fan this pleases me.

As a player development fan, this pleases me too.

@kiwimurph all the first fives the Blues have selected since 2003 have worked really well.!..to me the jury is still out on Plummer and Perofeta at super level Perofeta especially..!,Plummer looks promising but super rugby is a different level..Otere Black will definitely start as the Blues no1 but let’s not forget he was the number 2 at the Canes.
Purely from a Northland piece delighted that Debreczeni has secured a contract,we have not had decent pivot at the Taniwha since David Holwell wore the 10 jersey.
We don’t have the depth that Auckland has neither the money,so guys picking up contracts is huge as seen by the Tasmans of this world..! -

That is fucking terrible - the Chiefs need a slap for that signing.
I guess he's theoretically available for NZ but he's not good and we'd be better to promote a young NZer.

@nepia percentage goal kicker with probably the biggest boot in the Mitre 10 Cup ,runs at the line really well and is a very good defender..trying to work out his weekness..!

You know he's played Super Rugby before right?
And he's Australian.

I know he was born in NZ, he's still Australian. I must admit I've only watched 4 Northland games this year but I don't think he's looked as assured as you're suggesting, just reminded me of his play at Super level.
Blues should have signed him since he's in your catchment area.
-
@nepia so you are saying you watched more than 4 games of the Rebels?

In 5 years, I reckon so.

@steven-harris Debreczeni was so bad for the Rebels this year they dropped him and shoehorned Hodge out of position at 10. And it worked. Hodge was far better (not a high bar).
