it's not just rugby

My favourite is when it's used to discuss a fringe player

Oh yea mate, he's training the house down, and i reckon he's primed to have a massive year

Player goes on to play 4 ordinary games then gets hurt.

@mariner4life thats exactly what happened to Robinson in 2017...had been beasting all the pre-season training, played well in the pre-season games, got injured in pre-season games, out for rest of year!!

Woulda been an AB by now I expect

From the Blues Facebook Page -
Blues TV, brought to you by nib New Zealand, is back on Facebook Live this Thursday, 7th of February at 6.30pm!

This week we speak to new Blues Forwards Coach Tom Coventry, exciting new All Black Dalton Papalii and new Blues Co-Captain and All Black, Patrick Tuipulotu.

There's a Newshub news video from this week showing Akira Ioane is out of his sling at Blues training so it must have just been a precaution.

EDIT - here is the video

@Daffy-Jaffy Anything of specific interest in that video?

[Bones]

@Tim so, from skim reading:

1. Blues have been a bit poop in the past and have a tough row to hoe to do better.
2. We'll know how good Nonu is after we've seen him play.

Is that it? Well that's turned my world upside down.

[Tim]

@Bones Yeah, Wynn Grey is the master of stating the obvious.

Not particularly. Papalii comes across as lot more comfortable in front of the camera than captain Tuipulotu. Of course Ali Williams was super comfortable in front of the camera and was a shithouse captain.

@Tim just wish Wynn would just move on..like some Journlists they all become rather predictable..
