@KiwiMurph said in Blues 2020:
I could see Perofeta playing fullback too - perhaps when Plummer is on the field.
I hope so
In order this is my preference for fullback:
Narawa
Perofeta
Duffie -

Is this finally the year that the Blues get it all together???
Has Gatland had long enough with the Chiefs to get them playing his way???
The big questions that will start to be answered this weekend
I'll also be doing a live post match reaction show on YouTube
Sorry I split this thread at the same time you created a new one..

@KiwiMurph I thought the ABs were going to play limited minutes to start the season? If not, then I'd definitely start him.
I don't know if it is different for each player but TJP and JB are only allowed 40 and 60 minutes each for the first two games for the Canes.
It's a good point to watch for when tipping these early rounds.
It's a player by player thing from what I've heard

@Duluth So which one of us sets up the Crusaders v Waratahs thread then

@DrivingMaul done

I don't understand the Rieko talk to #13 talk
You get an England Int'l talent in Marchant at #13
Dude should carve up Super Rugby -

Rieko wants to play 13 but he still needs to earn it. I'd start him on the wing and give him the last 20mins of matches at centre
If his defence is good enough etc then it becomes an option later in the season.

It seems The Blues have. taken their most potent attacking weapon moved him from space into traffic.Does Reiko have the vision to create for his outsides ? will be an interesting watch.

Dude should carve up Super RugbyPerhaps he just isn't up to speed with the systems the Blues want to use yet. There's no doubt he's talented, but SR has a lot of international centres in the comp.

Dude should carve up Super RugbyPart of this is that Rieko played 13 all the way through age grades. A bit like DMac being a 10 until Super Rugby when he switched to 15

Perhaps they simply want such an attacking weapon to have more time with the ball.

That I can get behind
A wing who covers centre Helps his AB chances to be get #23 shirt at least
Behind Bridge & Reece for AB wing spot ATM
NZ SR teams are intriguing this year Alot of teams in transition

Maybe thats the theory, I would have him on the wing personally .It may be a genius move or stifle the Blues backline completely.I think maybe the latter.

Without being too negative, they haven't been exactly rampant last few years either.
true so it could be worse
