@Mackerzzzz Choat played every game last year. They want his 7 skills off the bench.

@taniwharugby Agreed - gut says Rush may move up the pecking order quicker than anticipated.

Tuipulotu is 1.98 apparently. Same as Robinson. Tucker 1.97
Scott Barrett is 1.97 which isn’t an issue
Then there’s wingspan.. a more meaningful stat would be height with arms above the head etc etc
Power in the scrum might be more of an issue? Hard to know unless we get some Blues props posting here
Blackwell's 1.90. yet somehow he does ok in the lineouts. Esp with a tall lock partner like Bird and a good lineout 6

Confirming Romano won't be back -
"Congratulations on a career to remember! Doors always open for you" 💙
This surprises me somewhat. I think Barry needs more kilos and NZ Rugby isn't overwhelmed with (genuine) locks.

That doesn't necessarily mean he should have?!...🤣🧐

@Tim Canes didn't even try . The other 4 did. Thankfully the crusaders missed out. We need an even super rugby and crusaders grabbing lots of the best young players will ensure it never happens
The Canes have Love, Moorby and Barrett who can all play fullback, and they are all young so no real room, I guess.

I’ve moved those posts to this thread now

@Nogusta glad Murray gets a shot.
Think @Steven-Harris mentioned Woods was likely to end up in 7s so is good he will get to train with the blues.
