How many really high profile players have switched teams? Ali Williams? Lomu? There must be others. Nonu liked to get around (though whether that was his choice).

Flaky first 5 with ropey basic skills and questionable game management. He's got Blues 10 written all over him

But a great fullback. If Tana were still in charge I’m sure he would find a way for Beaudie to start at fullback 😀

@Steven-Harris @Nogusta Any news on Scott Gregory or Tumua Manu? How about hookers?

[Nogusta]

@Tim Scotty is off to the Landers. Havent heard anything further re Manu apart from him being keen on a return to the Blues. Did hear that Sonny Bill might be going around another year with the Blues.

Well what an awesome news day this is. For his sake I hope he goes south and restarts the combo with Goodhue.

[Nogusta]

@Tim in terms of hookers - Ray Niuia from the Landers heading up to the Blues

[Tim]

@Nogusta I assume Abel is in too?

[Steven Harris]

@Tim Have not heard to much about Scott Gregory ,I did message him a couple of weeks back, but was more in and around his injury he picked up at the RWC under 20s..injury was not to serious .but I will ask him about a potential move to the Landers ..on the hookers ,not much to add other than what has already been said ..Taniwharugby was spot on regarding Abel, he was originally negotiating with Northland ,but has ended up in Auckland which is not a bad thing..hopefully he will be in the frame for Blues selection ..at least he will keep Parsons honest..!

[Tim]

@Nogusta BTW, do you rate Niuia? I honestly can't remember him from Harbour.

@mikedogz cold. Could have just scribbled Mt. in front of it!!

[Bones]

@Paekakboyz still got Willis St on it. What is that thing anyway? It's a weird collection of places.

[Paekakboyz]

@Bones all the places they have rental properties!!?

[Daffy Jaffy]

@Tim I remember enjoying his impact off the bench in his early days for harbour, has some good go forward with ball in hand and is a big unit at 118kgs. However he struggled for decent game time behind the ever present Parsons, then got injured and didn't play at all in 2017 before turning up at Ta$man last year.

[Chris]

@Tim I think he's a great impact Hooker, Highlanders should have given him some game time.Good pickup for the Blues a more dynamic option than Parsons.

[Machpants]

@Paekakboyz nah that number is closer to Izzy list, too many for Beaudy

All the cool people have them. Meant to be in the style of the old rotating tram/bus sign. You can obviously choose which place names you want printed on them.

@Tim come across this from 2015?
