Hurricanes v Blues
-
@KiwiMurph said in Blues 2019:
@Nogusta Ma'a played 13 earlier in the year. Or they may want to try Tele'a or Caleb Clarke given there is nothing riding on the game? They could also shift Rieko there but for one game I would not.
I have a feeling Rieko will be our 13 next year, but they seem pretty strict on him being exclusively at 11 this year.
I'd throw Telea in at 13. He's had more midfield experience than Clarke has.

Nonu getting a start one last time on Westpac would be nice. Maybe even the Hurricanes could pay tribute and rename the stadium for the night.
-
@KiwiMurph quite funny that waterboy Tana is with the Blues and Waterboy Carlos is with the Canes.
-
Will most likely be a rookie midfield for the Canes, Umaga Jensen likely to start but who knows who his partner is going to be. Maybe Toala, Goosen or even Lowe?
-
@Stargazer Good team, however seeing Parsons there really gives me hope the Canes B side will still get up.
-
not that numbers on jersies means a great deal, but they have again named Robinson as the lock reserve and Goodhue as the loosie reserve.

Looks like the Blues deleted their tweet that listed the team?
