    So perhaps Goodhue will get a hitout this week

    That would be great news for the playoffs - he was in excellent form, and would improve our set-piece play.

    Wouldn't be surprised if a number of the starters are rested this week in preparation for Highlanders QF.

    @KiwiMurph i reckon that's a bit on the optimistic side from the Blues based on how Clarke pulled up. He does have a flair for the dramatic though ol Caleb. Wouldnt be surprised if he made it look worse than it actually is.

    TAB has odds very tight for Waratahs game, so they must assume Blues will rest several players.

    Fixed...I wonder how much additional information they get though, as it is crucial to thier algorithms and setting of odds, I know they can amend, but they need to set them earlier than when things are made public.

    Do they have 'insiders' or just rely on rumour and speculation like us...surely not?

    100%

    New captain 2024 (following the WC) sounds right, but will he start before then? I love me some Sam Cane, but Cane might not be quite McCawish enough to hold out Paps from a starting jersey.

    Who do we think will be replace Karl Tu'inukuafe as a loosehead next year?
    Josh Fusitua has had a game off the bench midweek against MP, the other Lay brother might be back next year, and Teague McElroy has been with the wider training group.

    If Lay is crocked, who comes in? Fusitua?

    Experienced utility back Bryce Heem, who competes with Tuivasa-Sheck for the No 12 jersey, tips his hat to his team-mate’s dedication. “To come from a decade in the NRL and slot into 12 in Super Rugby the way he has is pretty impressive,” says the soon-to-be re-signed veteran. “That’s credit to him. He’s a professional guy, and puts in all the hard work to make sure he’s nailing his role and he’s where he needs to be.””

    Does Darry merit a contract next year? Lacks "grunt", but could improve physical conditioning at his young age (21).

    @Tim I think he's improved this year. Far from the finished article but he's starting to show signs of becoming a quality player for us. Definitely worth persevering with.
