@taniwharugby He is a very good prospect. He can also play midfield. Will be interesting to see how he goes jumping straight from age group footy to SRP.
@taniwharugby said in Blues 2022:
he has signed with Auckland next year anyway.
I guess he is returning to Auckland due to Ruru being off overseas.

@nepia ok then have it your way I'm over it
I think you do work for NZR considering how seriously you're taking this. Since I have your ear can you move the Magpies to another franchise please?
He might be more receptive if you refer to it as a "club".
But, @george33 , he's right. They're franchises.

Only just read hunt had retired, really disappointing news, I always rated him hugely and was gutted when he left Otago and the highlanders

Jonathan Ruru:
As a kid all I ever wanted to do when I grew up was to play rugby. So for just a young Māori boy from Napier, being able to do that in NZ for the last few years has been nothing short of a dream come true.
I’ve been part of some special teams, achieved some amazing feats and meet a lot of really good people along the way.
But I’ve decided to call time on playing footy here in NZ for now and am super excited for the new opportunities that lie ahead.
Thankyou to all who have helped me in any way. I’m grateful to have you all and be able to continue living this dream.
Until next time, au revoir ✌🏽

Ofa Tuungafasi (Northland),
Forgot about that
shows how poor administration (NZR, Blues before the current board) can stuff up a high performing team
