Tamati Tua has been signed by the Blues , bit of a surprise for mine ,has had a lot of injury issues in the last 2 -3 seasons meaning he has only played 38 x games for the Taniwha ,since his debut as an 18 year old in 2016 .
Tua was on the Blues Radar this time last year ,but had major shoulder surgery last December which kept him out of the first 9 months of 2021
Will be 24 in November, so for me this could be make or break, pardon the pun.
Might actually put the Wrampling rumour to bed , although I would say the Blues still do look a little thin at 2nd five unless they see RTS or Plummer as options .It might also mean Kata is at MP and not the Blues. As it seems that is maybe 17 backs in the 2022 squad. I wouldn't expect any team to pick 18 backs in their squad.

@chris Tua's inclusion could mean any one of these changes from my earlier guess at the midfield group to join Ioane -
Kata to MP?
Evans to wtg?
Heem not returning?
Tele'a not returning?
or Tua is actually signed to the wtg? -
On the Wrampling rumor - i was reading the comments about the Anton Segner signing on the Blues Facebook page and noticed someone commented then tagged Gideon and another Wrampling person to their post. (May just be because they were team mates at NZ schools level i think) but adds a little to the intrigue.

I love how we go into detective mode when there's a lack of squad news.

@tim love this time of the year , it actually disappoints me that a real big opportunity is always missed by the franchises to drip feed some signed players each day to build momentum.
Moana Pacifika has done it brilliantly unloading signings each day , and checking on their social netwok each day and watching the interest build has been superb.
It also leads to plenty of speculation and chat. -

Has anyone trouble accessing the Blues' website, or is it just my antivirus programme?
same here
DDOS from angry Waikato/Cantab folk annoyed at exporting Covid perhaps? I love a good conspiracy theory
