SBW set to sign for......
-
<p>Bit of a risky move from SBW - only time will tell if he can crack the starting line-up ahead of Piers Francis.</p>

<p>Steve Tew on RS about the signing</p>

<p>If there's one thing the Blues have been missing the last 5 years its big fast hard hitting midfeilders & outside backs. Have they had any at all?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As opposed to a 10 who can pass kick & direct traffic. While its awesome SBW is staying in NZ (in theory) from a Blues point of view I'd probably be more excited if they'd just announced Jimmy Goperth or Ben Botica was returning... (its not a high bar) </p> -

jesus christ SBW threads are funny. Every one is to script, but still funny.</p></blockquote>You're right. Funny but they get boring real quick, because sure as shit the lads/ladies will be at 'virtual handbags at dawn stage' by half way down page one... -

That's a pretty weak effort. -

With a new midfielder and a change of backroom culture and a bit of luck, who knows maybe next year the Blues could finish as high as 11th.</p></blockquote>

Nah bro, they'll win a title in the next 3 years apparently -

<p>One Charles Piutau? Or do you consider big to be well over 1.9m? </p><span style="font-family:'comic sans ms', cursive;"><span style="font-size:10px;">Frank Halai (for about n games)..</span></span> -

<p>I'm gonna assume there's a heaping helping of sarcasm cos I'm pretty sure someone posted about Moala and Ranger being the most physical midfield combo in Super history.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even surpassing the efforts of Alama the Charmer and Chuck Berry for the Canes in the inaugural season.....</p> -

<p>Yeah well he may have a point. Blues (Auckland) were in their prime when one Terry Wright was a wing. Bring back skinny guys with a dodgy mou!</p> -

<p>would be an odd move at this stage of his career, unless it is more a mentor role with plenty of quality loosies already there?</p> -
Yeah loose forwards are probably not an issue right now at the blues , so although he is a quality player , it's not like he would be coming in to plug a hole
