    What are the chances Alama coaches the development team?

    Also, I wonder if Olmstead and Abel will stick around for an injury call-up. Abel said that he's willing to wait for an injury call-up, so we might have to hope we're the first team to pick up a hooker injury.

    A couple of weeks ago, Olmstead said he was talking to a few teams, but no one signed him in the end. I wonder if the talks were more about injury cover than anything else.

    Last season the Harbour coaches took the U20 and Dev team, IIRC.

    Sounds like Ieremia has a lot planned for Auckland in early 2019 though, including a tour with an Auckland Dev team in February.

    @daffy-jaffy he got injured again in Mitre 10 Cup.

    Blues tend to have a history of picking impressive U20 players who get injured early on in their career - Faiane, Gibson, to some degree Papali'i etc

    They just happen to be all from St Kents.

    Duffie also went to St Kents and he started his career with so many injuries. He was the Blake Gibson before Blake Gibson.

    Scrafton is another St Kents boy, but he didn't start his career with injuries, he's just getting all his big injuries now.

    I wonder how serious Telea's injury is, because I saw him at the final and he had a big knee brace on. There didn't seem to be much in the contact that injured him, so I'm assuming it was an ACL.

    Who's the likely replacement? Leger?

    @dice St Kents makes you soft! If Scrafton stayed at Kelston he wouldn't be so injury prone haha.

    @tim If we do call someone up, he might be the option. Not sure if we'd call anyone up with 4 healthy midfielders still available though.

    If Telea has done an ACL, he should be back around March or April.

    @dice
    ACL recovery is a minimum 8 months. Look at Coles pretty much a year before playing, this is normal process. Yeah some people play when they are 6-8 months post op but they aren't usually professional sports people.

    Great communicator (and @mariner4life - you are just a cruel bastard).

    Can't be a good captain if you your place in the team is under threat, and you don't deliver on the field.

    LOL, it'll be something earth-shattering like "The Blues are proud to announce the signing of back-up reserve prop Puddingface Mcdumplingwaddle to the Wider Training Group."

    Why isn’t the headline “ Failure factory claims another scalp”?
