Blues team I'd like to see:
Big Karl/Apisai/Nepo/Dalton P (c)/GCT/Darry/Akira/Hoskins
I think Eklund is back?
I would like to see the NH locks. GCT is in the form of his life and Pierce is the only other power lock in the squad. He should play when Tuiputlotu is injured.
But if we haven't seen Pierce yet I suspect he's unlikely to get picked.Backrow - Sotutu has been just below 2020 standards all year and is drifting backwards. Not a huge issue, he wouldn't be the first player to struggle in his 2nd year as a regular starter. Ioane at 8 and Choat and Papali'i on the flanks. Papali'i is comfortable at 6 and it probably helps his AB aspirations. I'm a fan of Choat, he's still a little limited this early in his career but he will tackle a lot and accurately
Wasn’t aware of Eklund’s return and start makes sense. Likewise Brake.
Hoskins needs to pull his finger out, but Akira seems to have also gone off boil, so for me marginal. But swap at 50 if needs be.
Living in UK don’t know much about Plumtree. What’s the Fern view?

He’s looked good in the games I’ve seen. He’s a tall loosie, not really a lock. Hopefully the starters can play most of the match

I have to keep telling myself that there is an upside to whatever the result is this arvo.
I can't bring myself to cheer for a Saders win even if that locks in a Chiefs final and I think I would rather not have a 'semi-final' next week although a chance at a home final would be great.

This could get ugly ,but to pick up some easy money was too tempting ..covered both options 12 under & 13 over ..can’t believe the Blues are $3 ,should $8 plus ..TAB have got no balls ..

2 errors by the Blues and not even a minute gone

@kiwimurph And so it starts ,Can’t work out what Blake Gibson is doing in this starting lineup ..Adrian Choat playing for Waitemata in a well beaten team was next level outstanding..

Choat was very good in his Blues appearances too.
