@Tim you know your entire national rugby system is fucked when the Blues are paying less to win the comp than any side from your country.
-
@mariner4life huh? The blues are paying less than the other NZ sides you mean? Why is that fucked?

Without looking I am assuming the Blues are paying less to win the comp than any team from Aussie?? It's Aussie that don't look flash for Super Rugby... I think

.
The inclusion of Aaron Carroll in the list of Blues' rookies seems to confirm that he is the replacement of Baden Wardlaw.
.It looks like the Canes rookies didn't get the "wear a team shirt" memo :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

@Stargazer I take it that's just team rookies not actual newbies to super rugby.
-
@Bones I think it might be full contracts?
HYland was called into Blues in 2018, called into HIghlanders 2019 but this is his first full contract, similarly Reece was only initially injury cover last year wasnt he?
I see Isi Tu'ungafasi listed as Northland, I believe he is now a cantab...
-
@taniwharugby I think so, too. Danny Toala was signed by the Canes (full contract) for 2020 and 2021 in April, but already played 3 games for them in 2019.
-
@Stargazer 47 games 39 wins 3 draws ( highlanders game that was cancelled included) 5 losses. So 82.7% if you included highlanders game or 84.7% if you don’t.

Either way, Top Dog as it stands

Hey lads, I've broken down my thoughts on the chiefs, blues and rebels for 2020. Still working on my editing skills but tried my best - was hard for me to have the confidence to share this.
I don't really have any credentials to my name but I love rugby and placed top 20 in fantasy rugby three years in a row haha.
Would appreciate any support!

Nice pre-season summary. Thanks

@Ruggy Well done.
A couple of constructive comments:
(1) Laulala is not a LH prop so he won't ever be wearing the no.1 jersey. Moli and Ross to share the workload on the LH side.
(2) Jacobson will be in the no.6 or no.8 jersey, depending on the loose forward mix.I'm sure you will be getting comments on YT about the "Waikato" Chiefs.
