    That's a pretty weak effort.

    <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>

    <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>

    I'd take a swap of Messam and Edwards.

    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

    Yes and no - Blues need to better their depth to really compete. Messam off the bench is a big step up from Ram/Edwards etc.<br><br>
    Not to mention another huge area of need for the Blues - leadership.

    <p>Agreed, he just hasn't been given much of a go with the loosies we have (the 1 position we have plenty of depth in). We simply do not need Messam.</p>

    <p>Yeah, Edwards has probably deserved more time on the pitch but injury and then the emergence of Ioane have stopped it.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I don't think the Blues need Messam either, if any loosie came up from the Chiefs I'd prefer to get Seu back.</p>

    Don't think the Blues need Messam. The back row is the one spot where they have an over supply of good players. Kaino, Luatua, Gibson, Ioane with Edwards, Latimer (is he around next year?) and Prior adding depth. Add to that Jimmy Tupou and there is no need for another loosie even if he is good.
